Peņa de Castril Natural Monument
By Jo Williams
On the southern edge of the Sierra
Castril Natural Park is this spectacular and exceptional rocky
outcrop, the Peņa de Castril, which looms large over the whitewashed
houses of Castril village. Covering a mere 3.52ha, the rocky crag
has the remains of a Medieval castle, which has had its towers and
walls recently restored, and unsurpassed views over the countryside
around Castril. The Castril river snakes around the foot of the
Peņa.
