  History: the area has thousands of years of history from the Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and of course, the Christians. The "Necrópolis de Pozo Moro" was found here in this area. If you're in Madrid at some point, you can see this amazing-not-to-be-missed structure at the MAN (the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid) which dates back to 500 B.C. (or 2500 years ago). Don't miss it if you're in Madrid.

  A very immpresive castle building built at the 15th century by arabs. Near the castle are some houses that were built in caves. Each house has a chiminie. Many of the houses have cages with a bird inside.

  Interesting facts: 1. Skeletons have been found in the moat surrounding the castle. 2. There was a post-civil war prison built right in the middle of the castle which has since been demolished. The castle has served as a prison at various times throughout it's history. 3. They say that the ghost of one of the mayors sons of Chinchilla haunts it's streets at night. The legend goes that he was mistaken for a thief and shot by a guard one dark evening. You might spot his spirit wandering around the castle grounds.

  There are spectacular views from this Castle and it's certainly well worth a walk around. It's the PERFECT place to stop for a picnic or for lunch if you're on the on the A3 motorway heading towards Valencia or Alicante and need a break (hint sunset is the best time to stop here). Note 1: the interior of the castle cannot be visited despite it's perfect location; 5 minutes from the A3 motorway (it's unbelievable that this perfectly-located historic monument remains closed and underdeveloped to this day). There is a trail that winds it's way around the castle and along the way you can see cave houses bored into the rock (some are inhabited by local residents). Note 2: if you're not picnicking and wish to have a drink or a meal you'll have to walk to the old centre of Chinchilla. There aren't many restaurants or cafes near the castle but there are some good places to eat in the old part.
