On Saturday we spent the day around the Casa but had to nip down to Periana and Puente Don Manuel for a few supplies so decided to stop at The Castle of Zalía located at the side of the road home. It's a ruined fortress which stands opposite the town of Alcaucín and one of the best defensive architectures in Axarquia, dating from Moorish times.
