At the top of its rocky spur, Alquezar is one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Its name comes from the Arabic word al-qasr which means "the castle". This one, dating from the 11th century, is built on a hill overlooking the alleys. Declared a Historic Artistic Ensemble, Alquezar is anchored in the natural park of the Sierra and Gorges of Guara.
