think , that it is not interested , because almost 30 km from the sea , but , the nature ,you will see from the mountain , is worth it

Fascinating town, so much to see, layers upon layers of history. I loved looking around. The castle is ruined but it is extensive. Nice to sit back and to imagine what it must have been like.
Very well presented, disabled friendly and information in Spanish and English. Amazing views and photo opportunities.
Like all of the Andalusian castles the remains of the original construction are Roman, with the over lay of Moorish additions, but the Roman construction is the impressive part built in the 1stC BC. The work that was needed to complete fortifications like this over 2,000 years ago is quite staggering. The 360' view from the top is stunning - spanning from the Grazalema mountains past Jerez to Cadiz, and along the coast to Tarifa. Great photo ops at every turn! Good explanation boards in Spanish & English are placed at intervals on the path round the castle.
A visit to the top of Medina Sidonia is an absolute must . To have the realisation that Romans built all this 1500 years before is just amazing , the vista from this vantage point is stupendous take the journey and enjoy .
Well worth a visit if you enjoy castles, history and good views. Only a few Euros entrance fee so good value.
