Day trip to the Tropical Coast
Dring the trip we will visit the Castle of Almuñecar. Castillo de San Miguel, also known as San Miguel Castle (St. Michael's Castle) is perched high upon the hill above the Old Town of Almuñécar. It is surrounded by the whitewashed houses in the barrio of San Miguel. This occupies the land once used by Phoenicians and Romans. It was also used in the Nasrid period for the dungeon. While not a huge castle, it is in very good condition. Inside there is a small museum with a scale model of what the area once was. The castle structures are of the Muslim period, as became the retreat of the Moorish dynasty XIII. At the end of the reign of the Catholic King Ferdinand, 16th century, more was added (the moat, the drawbridge and the front entrance with its four round towers). During the war of independence against the French, it suffered the bombing of the British troops. The ruins later became used as a Christian cemetery, until mid S.XX. We have time to explore the castle and enjoy the amazing 360 views from the top. You will also enjoy the small museum area under ground, within the San Miguel Castle grounds.
