If only the walls of San Jose Castle could talk! But seeing they can't, check if tours are available to hear some of its fascinating tales instead.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when spending time in El Castell de Guadalest. San Jose Castle is a great place to start here, but there are loads of other worthwhile places to explore. Algar Waterfalls, Dinopark, and The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum of Guadalest are close to the fortified complex and will fill in your day nicely.
