Therefore, you have the possibility of enjoying nature and a large number of active tourism activities. Thanks to this Travel Guide to Castellar de la Frontera, you can find all the activities and the best travel tips for your trip.
A place with lots of history
Its origins date back to the Bronze Age (Cuevas del Cancho, Tajo and Abejera sites), but it acquires its true identity with the Muslim conquest, called then Al-Qars. When talking about the town, we must distinguish between the Old and New Castellar, built in 1971, 8 kilometres away from the old one.
Its fortress (12th-15th centuries) is located in the old town, in perfect state of conservation although reformed. Inside the castle you will find one of the few examples that exist of inhabited nucleus inside a fortification. It retains a noticeable medieval nature, with its winding layout of clean and whitewashed streets.
Castellar “El Nuevo” is a totally modern town, with wide streets and squares. Here, the Santísimo Cristo de la Almoraima Sanctuary is located, whose image is much worshipped by many faithful. In Plaza Andalucía there is also an important sculpture that commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the creation of the new town. There is another sculpture dedicated to Human Rights very close to this one.
La Almoraima is, together with the old Castellar and the New Town of Castellar, the third population centre of the municipality. In 1603, the mercedarian order builds the Convent of San Miguel de la Almoraima. The friars remain there until the middle of the 17th century. The Convent went to the Duke of Medinaceli, who turned it into a recreational and hunting hacienda. In 1945, the Almoraima Cork Company was created, around which the houses that will give rise to the Almoraima neighbourhood are built.
The town is also part of the Ruta del Toro (Route of the Bull), so it is possible to enjoy the abundant stockbreeding raised in these lands.
Main Activities: Cuisine, History, Active Tourism.
