Thank you very much, Mike. > What is the history of that castle? Is it Moorish or later? it seems to be, in origin, a muslim castle built about 848 b.C. with the purpose of surveillance and protection of main paths in the area, and the last time it was used as fortress was during the Napoleonic french invasion. Today it's for sale, only 0,01 Euros, under the condition to completely reconstruct it. Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
