Sohail Castle sits at the heart if the river mouth at Fuengirola in Spain, I have passed it many times on the bus, and finally decided to stop and have a look at it.
This castle was first built before the 12th century, and had a colourful history. In 1485 it was conquered by Christians against the Moorish. Napoleon tried to destroy the castle during the War of Independence. Â After that the Castle was abandoned and eventually sold a public auction. In the 1990’s the Castle started to go through restoration work.
You are allowed up onto the Towers, by climbing the steepest stairs, I have ever seen in my life. I think Health and Safety will stop this at some point in the future.
If you are in the area, it is worth visiting.
