Built in the 9th century on top of the Culebra hill, a strategic point for surveillance and defense, the ruins of the Alange Castle are one of the symbols that you have to visit if you are in the area. In addition to the ruins, you will have impressive views of the reservoir and you can complete a circular route returning along the edge of the swamp.
