Approaching the castillo.
Tonya with our friend Lola. The parking was still a ways down the hill, and we enjoyed nice views hiking up to the castillo.
The pueblo Almodóvar del Río from the hill.

The castillo had some cheesy displays, including this one of prisoners in the dungeon.
Scott in a doorway to one of the watch posts....people must have been shorter back then!
A hole through which castillo defenders could dump boiling oil on the attackers.

Note how the castle foundations are built on the natural rock of the mountain.
