エンバルスデルセナホのおすすめランニングルート

The church is located next to the Socovos Castle. It is on one floor and its ceiling has a wooden coffered ceiling of great merit. Above the main door, there is a large window. Above this, under a pediment with the anagram of Jesus Christ, the Cross of the Order of Santiago is carved, along with two pilgrim shells and the date 1590. In the past, the church had an organ similar to that of the Church of Liétor, but unfortunately it was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.

Socovos Castle, also known as Encomienda Castle, is a historical jewel that stands in the Sierra de Moratalla. It is located on the outskirts of the current town of Socovos, on a rock that overlooks the old town and next to the Old Church. Inside, the remains of the church, the keep, the cistern to collect rainwater and even a dungeon are preserved. Originally, the population was located on this elevation, but after the border danger receded, it moved to the valley.

Beautiful 16th century church. Nearby, there is a hill called “El Cabezo” where the remains of the old hermitage of San Cristóbal are.

The castle dates back to the 13th century and was built by Muslims. Today, it is in a state of ruin but it was designated as an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985 and can be visited.
