Fortified Hill Town Castillo de Castellar Castillos de Castellar de la Frontera near Algeciras Andalucia Cadiz Province Spain

---

The old part of Castellar de la Frontera still preserves a semi abandoned cluster of houses inside the old Muslim area. The view from there is splendid and reaches as far as the bay of Algeciras and the African coast. The village is reached by passing through the only gate in the curtain wall. In the surroundings of Castellar there are extensive forests of cork oaks, carob trees, bays, walnut trees and ash-trees where boar, fox and red deer abound.
