Castell de Ferro, a typical coastal village, has an Arab-origin castle-fortress in the centre, a witness to the historical past of this part of the Costa Tropical.
In the winter months the population of the village is around 3,000 however in the summer months this increases to approximately 6,000.
Castell village centers around a main square where most of the towns activities take place ( although in summer months activities stretch all along the sea front of Castell). In this square there are a number of little bars and restaurants which generate a lively atmosphere to the area. All the local amenities are situated within walking distance of the square, whether it be the 3 local supermarkets, newspaper shops, ironmongery, tobacconist or delicatessen.
The weekly market can be found each Saturday opposite the main village square, although in summer months this is moved further down the promenade to a different site (due to the size of the market).
The Promenade in Castell de Ferro is a really fantastic place to take either a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk. It stretches some 2 miles in length, which can either be extended to 3 miles if you move off the promenade onto the beach. The beach here is mainly pebbles, however in some stretches on the west side of the beach, sand can be found.
This is still a very traditional village on the coast and remains largely Spanish speaking and untouched by tourism. Nightlife is low profile and mainly centers around the bars and restaurants, however in the summer there are a number of discos (but these are within walking distance and away from the maddening crowds).
This is both a good relaxing place to visit and an excellent base for moving around the Costa Tropical, or further up the Coast to the Costa Almeria.
