Castell De Ferro: Beach, Nature and History on the Costa Tropical

Coast and Nature Around Castell De Ferro

Castell De Ferro on the Costa Tropical de Granada offers views of coastal towns, a protected natural area and historic sites. Playa Sotillo-Castell de Ferro consists of sand and pebbles and is 1,300 metres long. It has a beach promenade and some services. The specific length provides guidance for planning a day at the beach; the sand, pebbles, promenade and services give the place a distinctive profile.

La Rijana is a protected natural area. Access to La Rijana by car is restricted; unauthorised vehicles must park in the car park on the N-340 road. When planning a car journey, the combination of restricted access and the designated car park is therefore decisive. Playa Rijana beach is located in the immediate vicinity of Castell De Ferro.

More Beaches, Castles and Viewpoints

The beaches of Playa Castell Del Ferro - Sotillo and Playa Cambriles - Lújar are also located in the immediate vicinity of Castell De Ferro. In the surrounding area are Playa Calahonda beach and Castillo De Calahonda, a castle. This provides several named coastal destinations and a historic site as different types of destinations for planning a day out.

Two viewpoints are also located in the vicinity of Castell De Ferro: Mirador Morros de la Esparragona and Mirador Faro Sacratif. Both are classified as viewpoints. When planning a day, this means that the two sites can be considered as separate destinations alongside the beaches and castle.

Traces of History

Castillo de Castell de Ferro, a ruin, is located in the immediate vicinity of Castell De Ferro. The ruins preserve the remains of the keep with the beginning of a vault, the remains of two square towers and a cistern. These remains are spread across three areas. The keep, towers and cistern therefore represent different structural elements of the same ruin; the division into three areas is part of the site.

Coastal Culture in the Town

The Centro de Interpretación de la Costa Tropical is located in Castell De Ferro. The exhibition panels cover 185 square metres and present a tour from prehistory to the modern era. The chronological range therefore extends from early periods to modern history; such a chronological cultural venue can be included directly in a visit to Castell De Ferro.

At the Centro de Interpretación de El Romeral, visitors can learn about the natural, cultural and historical diversity of the Costa Tropical de Granada. During a visit there, it is possible to shift between natural, cultural and historical perspectives without leaving the thematic framework of the Costa Tropical de Granada.
