Castellar de la Frontera

Yesterday, Friday 22 November, we walked the old, cobbled access road to Castellar de la Frontera. Starting just off the A-369 Ronda-Algeciras road, the 4hr return walk took us through rolling wooded farmland, up the cobbled path and onto the final asphalted section to Castellar village and its impressive castle. On the way we had a look at the remains of a Visigothic wine press dating back some 1500yrs.

Some photos to prove that it's not always sunny when we walk (though it didn't rain and it was a quite pleasant 17C!).
