캄포 타베르나스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

Currently (Feb 2026) the castle is closed indefinitely for maintenance and historical research.

Tahal Castle, nestled in the Sierra de los Filabres, was built in the 15th and 16th centuries to control the routes between the Almanzora Valley and Tabernas. Although it remains in a state of consolidated ruin today, its large rectangular keep, with its elevated entrance and masonry walls, is still impressive. Next to it, you can see the remains of a circular tower, the walled enclosure, and a cistern that provided water in the event of a siege. Freely accessible, it is an interesting place to combine history and hiking in this part of Almería.

High on a hill with beautiful distant views lie the remains of a once mighty castle. At the moment the ruins are still not easy to reach but you will no longer be fired upon as you climb the hill in the hot Spanish sun ;-) Entrance is free.

The location has been reused for several films over the years, usually involving lots of dynamite. Titles include Blindman (1971)—starring Ringo Star as a lovesick Mexican thief—A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die (1972), Get Mean (1975), Conan the Barbarian and Dollar for the Dead (1998)—an homage to Sergio Leone.

One of the most intriguing locations in Almeria was the site of an elaborate fortress originally built in 1969 for the film El Condor. Adobe houses, horse stables, a raised water tank and a luxurious two-storey stone house surrounded a central plaza the size of a football pitch. The entire complex was surrounded by 30-foot high walls with a network of watchtowers and staircases. The fortress is set into a steep hillside, with the towers above providing sweeping views over the surrounding landscape.

Impressive film set that was left to its own devices.

The route through Tahal is very scenic. I didn't stop here, I don't walk around with racing bike shoes and cleats to look at something.
