Enjoy a getaway to Castellar de la Frontera and you’ll discover a corner of Cádiz with plenty of charming natural and architectural attractions to offer.

Castellar de la Frontera is a town in the province of Cádiz, 75 miles from the city of Cádiz. The town is known for the fortress of Castellar Viejo, an Arab fortress built in the 13th century that played an important role in defending the Muslim-ruled taifa kingdoms thanks to its strategic location, at the top of a hill. It has an irregular floor plan enclosed by a wall with a number of smaller buildings within.

The fortress can be found in the Los Alcornocales Nature Park, which spans some 420,000 acres. As you'd expect from such a large space, you’ll find a great diversity of landscapes, as well as several rivers, streams and reservoirs. August is the warmest month here, so make the most of one of our cheap trips to Castellar de la Frontera to take a refreshing dip.

If you’re in the mood for even more nature, why not head down to the River Guadiaro estuary. The flora and fauna there are of great scientific interest, making it another great option for a day trip. Don’t forget to take some snacks, comfortable shoes and binoculars so you can take some time out and spot all the different birds that can be found in the area, including herons, flamingos and eagles.

As for monuments, you’ll definitely want to check out the Almoraima tower, whose origins date back to the Muslim period. This four-storey tower stands proudly at the top of a hill and features an octagonal floor plan. Make sure you don’t miss the convent of San Miguel de la Almoraima. This 17th century building, with its beautiful Baroque style, is the perfect way to round off our package deals to Castellar de la Frontera.
