La Fortaleza del Sol, Lorca

Today I visited a fabulous castle - La Fortaleza del Sol (The Fortress of the Sun) perched high on a rocky mountain above the town of Lorca. It dates from the Middle Ages when the Moors ruled much of present day Spain and over the past few years much of the castle and it´s walled gardens have been restored. Actors in period costume and audio visual displays bring the castles rich history to life and added to this the views from the top are simply amazing.
