Novelda

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“Entry is free; closed Monday and Tuesday. There is a restaurant and café on site, and the sunset is lovely.”

A castle of Almohad origin on a hill above the Vinalopó valley. Its most famous feature is a triangular tower unique in Europe, and beside it is the modern “Magdalena” shrine in the style of Gaudí.

Easy to reach, needs a car

30 minutes from Alicante by car. Parking at the site, and steps in the tower; 1 hour.
