Hiking
Little remains of the castle, but the "Miramontes" thing is still true. It is of Roman origin, but the remains that can be seen are from an 11th or 12th century Arab fortress. Later it was conquered by King Alfonso VII with the support of 33 Italian knights from Calabria, a place of strong veneration for Saint Euphemia. That is why the town came to be called that and its inhabitants are still called Calabrians today.
