There is not much left but ruins and an orientation sign. It is not on the way to any mythical place. Still, spectacular location.

Gorgeous old ruins

Another must-see place if you are in O Courel. The castle only has a few walls left, but the enclave is beautiful for its views, both from the viewpoint and from the climb or castle along a steep side and from the top of it. Several hiking trails pass through and reach it.

A spectacular place to stop on the winding road, from which to observe the remains of the castle and admire the surrounding environment as far as the eye can see.

A little difficult to get to. Beautiful but better to go see it without rain because of the slippery terrain
