| Remaining tower |
Torregalindo hosts a small castlilo that is easily accessible with a beautiful panorama of wine country. The castle is in almost complete disrepair and the area was full of grass and wildflowers when we went up there. It was a little difficult to walk around but it added to the excitement of exploring an ancient ruin. There was one small information placard that we read and a short path leading up the main castle, a decent sized remnant of a wall, and then the remnant of what I presume was a torre.
It was a nice albeit short walk around the premises and we likely would have explored more at the base if there were open footpaths. A small highlight was the presence of nesting Red-billed Choughs which kept squawking at us and flying off their perch gliding gently on the updraft of the wind hitting the castle walls. They tend to have a buoyant and acrobatic flight and it appeared as if they were showing off riding the wind.
The castle was very close to the main road and a worthy stop if you're interested in the less renovated type of castles.
