Castle complex/ruins with fantastic views. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in, so one always had to stay outside

Ain Castle is of Arabic origin and was built in the 13th century. There they lived in peace and harmony, developed the cultivation of olive trees and plantations, introduced the irrigation system and exploited the natural resources.

This memorial complex has been created by the Alcudia de Veo City Council with the help of the Generalitat Valenciana (Department of Justice) and with the collaboration of various people and associations. The objective is to raise awareness about the devastating effects of war and the importance of conserving and disseminating heritage as a vehicle for transmitting our Historical Memory.

To get here the ideal is to do it from Alcudia de Veo. Taking the CV-215 in the direction of Algimia de Almonacid, at km 1 is the entrance to the Jinquer path. Following this path, you will reach the uninhabited area of Jinquer, where a few meters before the general information panel where the route begins is located. Once here, it is advisable to start the itinerary from the Jinquer desert, then take the path that passes next to Puntal del Gordo and end on the heights of Almenarilla, in the hills known as "Las Dos Tetas". The route passes between pines, holm oaks, cork oaks, poplars, chestnut trees and oaks in the heart of the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park, and allows you to enjoy privileged views over the coastal plain. In addition, it has indications along the way and explanatory panels together with some vestiges.

The Jinquer-La Almenarilla Memorial Complex is located just 3 km west of the town of Alcudia de Veo; It is made up of four places where the Civil War left a mark that is still visible today, more than eight decades later: The Jinquer hamlet, of Arab origin, was evacuated during the Spanish Civil War and definitively abandoned after the war, remaining frozen in time.

This castle belonged to Eslida who, after its conquest by Jaime I, passed to the lordship of Jerica with Alcudia de Veo and Sueras in the year 1238.

Known as the castle of 300 towers (actually around 65), it is a large walled enclosure built by the Arabs in the 10th century.
