Mirabel Castle or Peña del Acero, is a defensive building whose origins date back to the 15th century. For decades it fell into oblivion and became a secluded ruin that few people visited. However, in recent times it has become one of the main attractions of this area of the Monfragüe Biosphere Reserve. Despite its ruined state, the castle is perfectly equipped to walk through its interior with different stairs and metal viewpoints from which we can enjoy wonderful views of the Extremadura pasture and the mountains that surround the Tagus River. The castle also has a large number of information panels inside that will help us better understand the place where we are. The visit is free and you can leave your car parked in the parking lot next to the picnic area located at its feet. The climb is a bit steep, especially the last few meters, although once at the top the effort will be worth it.

A very nice renovated castle with safe metal structures, which allow you to walk around and explore the beautiful open view imagining how the owners lived when the castle was intact. Many signs explain what is what. Free entry, no guard or anybody for that matter. Lonely and private place, with a covered picknick place on the bottom of the hill looking at the castle. Very romantic.
