Hiking

Another of the monuments and symbols of the city is the walled enclosure or Alcazaba whose origin is Templar and dates back to the 13th century, partly built on the old Arab wall. At present, 18 of its 26 original towers and only 2 of the 6 gates are preserved.

Hiking

Built in the 13th century, the castle is now part of the public promenade of the municipality of Jerez de los Caballeros. It dates back to the Templar period, is in good condition, entry is free and the surrounding area offers a beautiful backdrop of palm trees and buildings to explore.
