What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Mirador de las Eras del Castillo for its beautiful city views and its suitability as a picnic spot. The historical significance of the threshing floors adds to its charm. However, some note that the area could benefit from better maintenance, with weeds being a minor concern. The inability to visit the castle interior is also a point of mention.
"Good views of the city of Doncel. A recommended spot after visiting the interior of the Castle, as from the threshing floors you can see the back of the castle, and during the Medieval Festival (July), you can witness the "assault on the Castle." Perhaps it needs a little more care, as there is a lot of weeds around it."

"It's a shame the castle can't be visited, as it's a private inn. I've seen images of its interior, and they've found it quite striking and imposing.
On the other hand, it's worth noting that the 12th-century palace-fortress has passed through many hands, meaning that, throughout history, it has been demolished and rebuilt ad nauseam."
