Hiking the Neo-Medieval Fortresses

At a time that suits you, we will collect you from your hotel in Ceuta and head to the Sierra Bullones to embark on a 6-kilometer hiking adventure. Are you ready to explore?

As we navigate through the seven hills distinguishing Spain from Morocco, we will delve into the historical significance of the neo-medieval fortifications perched upon them. Constructed in the mid-19th century following the success of Spanish forces in the Battle of Wad-Ras, these towers have played a crucial role in safeguarding the border.

Throughout our journey, we will closely examine the remarkable towers of Piniés, Aranguren, Ányera, Mendizábal, Isabel II, Francisco de Asís, and the fort of Príncipe Alfonso.
