Coast and Nature

La Rijana is a protected natural area. Access to La Rijana by car is restricted; unauthorised vehicles must park in the car park on the N-340 road. In the immediate vicinity of Castell de Ferro are Playa Castell Del Ferro - Sotillo, Playa Cambriles - Lújar and Playa Rijana.

The surrounding area of Castell de Ferro also includes Playa Calahonda, Castillo De Calahonda, a castle, as well as the viewpoints Mirador Morros de la Esparragona and Mirador Faro Sacratif. Distinguishing between the immediate vicinity and the surrounding area creates a simple spatial structure that can stand alongside the thematic choice of beach, nature and viewpoints. When travellers combine different interests, they can first sort by landscape or viewpoint and then by spatial classification. Thematic sorting is particularly helpful when not everyone in a travel group is looking for the same thing: the focus areas can stand alongside one another and then be compared with the spatial classification.

History and Culture

Castillo de Castell de Ferro, a ruin, is located in the immediate vicinity of Castell de Ferro. The ruins of Castillo de Castell de Ferro preserve remains of the keep with the base of a vault, the remains of two square towers and a cistern; the surviving elements are spread across three areas. Castillo De Calahonda, a castle, is located in the surrounding area of Castell de Ferro. For visitors who want to combine historical topics, the two structures already differ in their classification as a ruin and a castle. This comparison can stand alongside the coastal and nature-related topics in a travel group with different interests.

When preferences differ, travel planning can initially follow the desired theme: coast, natural environment, historic buildings, viewpoints or communicating history. A travel group does not have to assign all interests to the same category; the focus areas can stand alongside one another and then be compared with the spatial classification.
