Manqueospese Castle, also known as "Althoughospese," is located in the municipality of Mironcillo, Ávila, at an altitude of 1,360 meters, overlooking the Amblés Valley. This castle is an example of a European mountain fortress, with strong walls adapted to the rocky terrain. Construction of the castle began in the 15th century by the Dávila family and was completed by Esteban Dávila in the 16th century. The castle is surrounded by legends, including stories of unrequited love and rivalries between knights. Its name, "Manqueospese," is said to come from the expression "although it weighs on you," which is related to these legends. From its privileged position, the castle offers stunning views of the Amblés Valley and the walls of Ávila. Although it is currently in ruins, restoration and cleaning work are underway.

According to legend, the castle would be built by Don Raimundo, to communicate with his beloved Doña Guiomar, locked in the balcony that crowns the door of the Rastro (in Ávila, access through the Dávila house), given the prohibition of her father. for the couple to continue their love affairs. Given the paternal attitude, Don Raimundo exclaimed: "I'll see her manqueospese" or "I'll see her even though she weighs", and it was then that he built his castle, from which he apparently communicated with his beloved Guiomar.
