  Fabulous location with amazing views. We walked up to the castle from the village which took maybe 30 minutes in total. The views when you get near it are amazing, you can see for miles.The castle itself is fabulous, lots of turrets to go up, cellars to go down and even a dungeon!There is a visual presentation in English that gives you the story of the Castle and it's very well done and interesting. There are also displays of swords through the ages, different types of armour and scenes that depict various elements of castle life. All very interesting and you can definitely while away a few hours here.

  Spotted this caslte high on a hill as we were driving between Cordoba and Seville. It was too irrisistable to not take a detour to visit. It was well worth the visit if only for the panoramic views from each of the towers. It was disapointing to see from the photografic exhibits that the vast majority of the castle has been completely rebuilt. There's a very interesting display of various swords, although I don't think it is relevant to the history of the castle. Overall I think it is well worth a visit.

  This castle is well worth visiting as it is perched on a hill overlooking the surrounding area and it has an interesting history. The drive up to the castle is steep and narrow and I was very glad we didn't meet anybody comming the other way.When you get there the view is stunning and the level of restoration is superb. It becomes even more impressive when you realise this was funded by the owner at the begining of the last centuary and there is a series of photos showing the state it was in before and during the work.

  To imagine what was involved in renovating this castle - over 30 years of renovation works, employing 600 villagers, over 100 years ago, I would have loved to meet this gentleman, who spent everything he had to give us the opportunity to see how it was, and for only €6.50, really not much to donate ... but I really think they should be advertising more - if it hadn't been because we were staying in Posadas, we wouldn't have known about it. Why not put some leaflets in Cordoba?

  I´m sorry if you didn´t like the Castle.You should understand it´s not cheap to preserve a Castle. Also, it´s a private ownership monument, we don´t recieve any public funds to pay the costs, like salaries, preservation and other costs.Anyway, there are many other monuments tickets more expensive that 7€.We are always triying to improve our services and we will consider your views, for example, we are working to have free audioguides in the near future.Thanks.

  Thanks a lot for your visit.The castle is a reconstruction but don Rafael (the Count) tried to rebuild it a mix of a true reconstrution and a imaginative one, because he wanted to live there as his home.We are triying to expand the business creating new opportunities like theatrical lunchs, mistery nights, concerts and other events. Also, we want to make us known out of Spain.

  We took a trip to the castle on our way from Córdoba to Seville. We had a car, I would really recommend driving up, the castle is high up. Since we took the trip in the winter, there was only an other couple visiting the castle. The view is breathtaking, the castle is very well renovated, you can also check the exhibition about the renovation process. We really enjoyed it, if you have about an hour, it is worth visiting it, even though it is a bit pricy.

  Thanks a lot!It´s hot in summer in Córdoba, but there is always water here with a big river like Guadalquivir flowing below the castle, other minor rivers and dams near Almodóvar. Thus forms a contrast of arid and green areas in the aroud the castle.
