This is my first post here.

Last Saturday, I visited the 15th century castle of Manzanares el Real in Madrid, and I thought I should leave a message here. Overall it is a very nice castle with a surrounding barbican, well preserved, and only at 50 minutes from Madrid by bus. Visits cost 2 Euros. I am attaching some of the photos I took for my own website.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your photo's of Manzanares castle - a castle I haven't yet visited. It's good to see someone from Spain with an interest in Spanish castles on the group - they are a major interest of mine although I live in England. I try and get over to Spain as often as I can to visit castles there.

Cheers

Last summer I visited El Escorial Monastery which is an amazing place, and now I want to visit the Alcazar of Segovia, one of the best castles in Spain without doubt. I will keep you all updated.

By the way, you guys have a great site. I didn't know there was so much interest on castles around the world.

Best,

Finally I visited Segovia 2 weeks ago and took some photos of the Alcázar. What a castle! I've been living in Spain for most of my live and I can't believe I didn't visit Segovia before. Photos here:
