Medieval castles and fortress towers: a day in the Middle Ages, rounded off with a glass of local wine.

In Villena, the 14th-century Atalaya Castle awaits. Fortresses like this were built for defence, against everyone from Moorish invaders to the king of the neighbouring province.

Here's a fact: Spain once had over 10 thousand officially registered castles. Only 2500 have survived to this day, and around 500 of them are in good condition.

Next comes the Arab castle of Castillo de Mola, with the world's only triangular tower. Then the Sanctuary of Mary Magdalene, considered a miniature Sagrada Família, and finally the wine cellars of Algueña.

Why you'll love it

  • Two medieval castles in one day
  • Architecture often compared to the Sagrada Família
  • The region's red and rosé wines
  • Commentary in Russian
