March 2, 2024,Around Castell de Castells - Moorish watchtower

This is an excellent hike up to the Watchtower .. the last scramble/climb I wouldn't recommend if you don't enjoy heights or suffer from vertigo 🙈.. we went so far enjoyed the views but stopped a short way from the top ( a narrow ridge with sheer drops )Mr H clinging on ... refusing to take photos .. feeling vertiginous …
