Castle Viewpoint

The Virgin of the Castle Viewpoint

This viewpoint, which is also known as the Cabezabellosa viewpoint is located on the Cerro del Búho (Owl Hill) between large granite boulders and chestnut and oak trees. A zigzagging cobbled path leads the way to this spot which is a spectacular feast for the senses.

The viewpoint is V-shaped and is suspended over the granite crags. The smaller arm looks out over the Alagón Valley, the Trasierra-Tierras de Granadilla region and the Ambroz Valley with the Sierra de Gata, Las Hurdes and the Peña de Francia (in the province of Castilla y León) on the horizon. The longer arm faces Cabezabellosa and offers magnificent views of the village and the surrounding mountains.
