The 12th Century castle walls sit on top of a rocky outcrop and can easily be seen when driving on the motorway between in to / out of Murcia in the direction of Cartegena. As you look up to the castle walls (ok, your passengers, you need your eyes firmly on the road on the steep, twisty motorway), you may wonder, as we did, a) what it is (something from Franco's time?) b) how you get up there (it looks like there are cliff faces on all sides) and c) how they ever built it (helicopter?).
