Castellar Viejo is very different from that Haight-Ashbury crossing that changed the world almost 50 years ago, but it evokes and retains the same spirit that led John Phillips to write his famous song “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”. Do you want to visit this gem of Cadiz with us?
Although there is no evidence that Scott McKenzie has passed by this place to sing it, we can guarantee, as the lyrics say, that “if you come to Castellar, you will meet very nice people here…”.
A place that became strong with the Muslim conquest, renamed Al-Qars…
… being one of the balconies with the best views to Los Alcornocales Natural Park.
There is no underground here. Our public transport is more natural…
… and the only line that runs is circular, and begins in this square…
… exhibitions…
… painting…
… craftwork…
With a bit of luck, you will bump into one of the most authentic hippies in Castellar.
Before finishing, I would ask you to bring the flower from home. Don’t take it from here…
I suggest you to see Castellar from the castle terrace…
… to enjoy its paths and active tourism activities…
… and to support the “local business”…
