At an elevation of 870 metres, the Ermita del Castillo lookout is one of the most spectacular vantage points in northern Extremadura, with views of the north-wester part of the territory framed by Sierra de Gata and Las Hurdes, with the Alagón Valley, Trasierra-Tierras de Granadilla and Ambroz Valley at your feet.

To get to the lookout you have to walk about 500 metres on a narrow footpath that leads up to the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Castillo. The lookout is a metal structure featuring two bifurcated walkways, 27 and 44 meters long. Get ready for an exhilarating experience as you step onto the platform. Breathtaking views that quite literally put northern Extremadura at your feet. A modern-day watchtower where the landscape takes centre stage, offering the perfect backdrop for a stunning sunset.
