Castillo de Turón, Ardales, Andalucìa
An 8km circular walk, starting from Ardales, full of contrasts. The castle can be located via this link: Castillo de Turòn on Google Maps
History with modernity – ruins amongst wind turbines.
Natural flora with olive and almond groves.
Impressive limestone mountains amongst the wide valleys.
A little bit of history that I didn’t expect in rural Andalucìa!
