    Considering how small the town is and the relics it has, it's worth seeing.

    We had a wonderful afternoon. Chema not only explains everything so you can get to know Baños de la Encina, but you can also tell he loves his job and his town. A town full of charm. Thanks for everything, Chema, and we'll be back. Ana and Juanjo

    Chema was an exceptional guide. We've had several guides on this trip, and none were better than him. It was a long and rather dense tour because there was a lot to explain, but he made it very enjoyable and fun.

Cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and stunning views over the Guadalquivir Valley make it an unforgettable stop on any trip through southern Spain.

A Glimpse into the Past

The village dates back to the 10th century, when its impressive castle, Castillo de Burgalimar, was built by the Moors. Over the centuries, the town became a melting pot of cultures, witnessed numerous battles, and played a strategic role during the Reconquista. Today, you can still feel the echoes of its fascinating history as you walk through its ancient alleys and monuments.

Is the castle open to visitors?

Yes, Burgalimar Castle is open for guided and self-guided tours. You can explore its battlements and towers, and enjoy panoramic views of the countryside.
