Discover Castell De Ferro

When looking for a hotel in Castell De Ferro, you can use a range of interests to guide your search. Playa Sotillo-Castell de Ferro offers a specific connection to the coast, while La Rijana is a protected natural area. There are also the ruins of Castillo de Castell de Ferro and the Centro de Interpretación de la Costa Tropical, which is located in Castell de Ferro. The coast, nature and historical themes give you different starting points for shaping your stay around what interests you most.

Beach features and promenade

Playa Sotillo-Castell de Ferro consists of sand and pebbles and is 1,300 metres long. It also has a beach promenade and some amenities. Sand and pebbles describe its composition, while the length indicates its extent; the promenade and amenities add other features of the beach area. These aspects answer different questions: the composition identifies the type of beach, while 1,300 metres specifies its length. If you also take nearby facilities into account when planning, the promenade and amenities mentioned here are part of the picture too.

La Rijana and getting there

La Rijana is a protected natural area. Access by car is restricted: unauthorised vehicles must park in the car park on the N-340 road. If you are planning to drive, bear this restriction in mind and check the conditions before travelling.

Structural remains of the Castillo

The ruins of Castillo de Castell de Ferro preserve remains of the keep, including the start of a vault, the remains of two square towers and a cistern divided into three sections. A keep is a castle’s main tower; the start of the vault refers to the surviving beginning of a vaulted structure. A cistern is used to store water. The square shape of the towers and the cistern’s division into three sections describe different aspects: the form of the tower remains and the layout of a water store. This gives visitors interested in architecture several specific structural features, each of which can be considered in a different way.

The Centro de Interpretación de la Costa Tropical

The Centro de Interpretación de la Costa Tropical is located in Castell de Ferro. When it was inaugurated in 2010, the exhibition was presented as having 185 square metres of display panels and a visitor route spanning the period from prehistory to the modern age. The square-metre figure refers to the panels, while the visitor route describes the historical span of the themes. This brings together a quantified size and a broad sweep of history.

The two historical themes appeal to different interests: the Castillo focuses on specific structural features, while the exhibition presented at its 2010 inauguration follows a timeline from prehistory to the modern age. Whether you are more interested in architectural forms or a broad sweep of historical periods, these offer two different perspectives on history.
