It is a high place, located at a considerable altitude (924 m.), which has impressive panoramic views of the town and its municipal term. It's 1 km away. to the east of Fuensanta de Martos, and it is accessed by the road JA-3301, towards the Sierra de la Pandera.

Location: To the north of the city centre, very close to it, in the natural park of Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas.

Distance: 2 km. Medium: On foot.

Access route: Through a rural road leading to the dehesa del Castillo.

This bridge was built when, in the sixty of the last century, the repressive waters buried the Molinillo Bridge, which passed through the Guadalanimin a little below, and which allowed, from time immemorial, the access of reels to a road that unites the inhabitants of the scattered cores in the upper part of the Sierra (Nava de San Pedro, Puntal de Ana María, la Loma de la Sarga, Vadillo de Castril, etc.) with El Almicarán and Pozo Alcón. Much of the wheat that was sown in that mountainous area became a flour mill that was at the confluence of the Guazalamanco River with the Guadalanimin, very close to the said bridge, and that gave name to the site.

This historic road, which progress was responsible for truncating more than forty years ago, is already collected in the medieval chronicles. It was also the way to the Mesta, where the cattle of Pozo Alcón and Castril were led to the winter of Sierra Morena, with a softer and more prone climate for sheep and cows. The journey that communicates the reservoir with the Vado de las Carretas, near the Nava de San Pedro is via pecuaria and, officially, receives the illustrative name "Cordel de Visas Pintoresca." The first stretch of this journey, which passes through the cortijo de los Tontos, forest house of the Puntal de Ana María and cortijo del Raso del Peral (the highest point of the road at about 1,320 m of altitude) is known as Cañada del Mesto, and is a pleasant walk (about 8 km away and back from where we have left the vehicle) that will surprise us by the natural viewpoints we find on the route (Cortijo de los Tontos, Puntal de Ana María and the Poyo del Raso) and the views that give us. If we continue about 5 K. further forward we find the Vado de las Carretas and the Cerradas del Guadalentín and Canaliega.

We suggest...

• That before we take the road on foot that leads us to the Cerrada de la Herradura, in the vicinity of the Molinillo Forest House, we lie, with the maximum of precautions, to the edges of the cut that give view to the reservoir and to the final stretch of the Guazalamanco River, before we connect with the Guadalmin. If the level of the reservoir is low we can see the old Molinillo bridge and what's left of the small old flour factory. In that case, a recommended option is that, through a sidewalk that leaves east of the forest house, just in front of the large bridge, we go down to the river bank and approach the mill. There are still remains of the old systems used for the milling of wheat.

The Cerrada de la Herradura is located in the tail of the Bolera reservoir and is accessed by the Dehesa del Rincón, a large entrelano located on the right bank of that reservoir. From Pozo Alcón you have to take the A-326, up the Avenida de la Bolera, direction to Castril. By passing the campsite de la Bolera and the km 7, we take a detour that comes to our left and that borders the Forest House of la Bolera (it indicates to the Hornico). On an unasphalted road, always following the main road, you reach the Molinillo Forest House, now apricot of cattle, 7.7 Km. later. There we left the vehicle and followed the path of the route that indicates the Road Vado. About 800 meters later a narrow bridge crosses a riverbed. We meet at the Herradura Clock. If we continue the road, until it begins to descend again, 3.5 Km. later, we will make the journey known as Cañada del Mesto.

As if a portion of the natural park had been removed, in this center, the visitor can taste his morphology or walk through a recreated Mediterranean forest where to identify plant species and their aromas or discover its inhabitants in a fun way. Many emblematic species threatened find refuge in these saws; this is the case of the Iberian wolf, whose cubit is faithfully reproduced.

Among all the emblematic species of the park, the Iberian lince stands out. Its traces will lead the user to discover its habitat and behavior, as well as the problem that makes it the most threatened felline on the planet.

In this centre you can also know the way of life of its inhabitants, their historical development and how a harmonious exploitation of resources allows the conservation of valuable environments such as the Andújar saws.

There are many corners that house Despeñacolos and La Cimbarra, however in the interpretative endowment some of the most emblematic are highlighted and presents us the human environment that surrounds these natural spaces, with special mention to the peoples of the surroundings that can not stop visiting to enjoy their gastronomy, their festivities and the heat of their good people.

The Castle of Alhabar, occupies the entire upper plateau of the farallon of the east bank of the river. It was of small proportions but of a higher size than the castle of Cambil, of rectangular floor and adapted to the rock steep by two of its sides (north and south), against which it raised its wall, on the east and west facades, of which remains of very damaged structures.

In the inner space it is worth noting the existence of two levels that were enhanced by human work: a central one that makes the times of alcazareño and another peripheral. The visible work inside the castle is of small and abundant plaster mortar.

Access to the castle was made in the west by a narrow entrance preceded by a very long staircase, very narrow, partially carved on the rock, so it was not accessible for riding. At this point the space was closed with a wall of bulkhead.

The other wall lock, the east lock, is very restored to avoid collapse. Near this, at the top of the rib in which the hill seems to be nailed, there are signs of a rectangular construction, probably the only living space of Alhabar.

A lookout has now been enabled from the castle of Alhabar, from where you can see the field of vision that was held at that time from the castle.

The Cambil Castle, occupied the entire top plateau, approximately rectangular, of the rocky pharallion on the west bank of the river. It had natural defenses on three of its fronts, protected only by a small parapet, due to the steep nature of the rock on which it settled, only the west side has a low level of about 4 or 5 meters, so on this side it was where it had some kind of fortification and where the castle should be accessed.

The interior of the castle is rather rough, with small masonry and a lot of plaster mortar. It was structured on two levels: one central as an alcazarejo, and the other peripheral.

The alcazarejo is formed by an overheated plateau that was surrounded by parapets and perhaps leveled with land. In the eastern sector, a tight structure is detected that supports and enhances it, two walls of bulkhead at a right angle with the corner formed by a chain of very narrow and well-cut chairs.

The inner space from which we could call the courtyard of weapons, was divided into two longitudinal sectors by a divisive of dry bulkheads, today completely melted although their stones are in situ.

The remains of the pond, carved on the living rock, reveal the entrance of the castle. In some areas of the castle there are stone bowls, which, because of their dispersion, could be remnants of the bombing carried out in 1485 by the Catholic Kings.

Today, remains of the wall can still be seen.

It is in a rocky spur at 1,090 meters high and is the highest castle in the province of Jaén. Two constructive phases are distinguished. At the top there are walls of irregular size masonry that delimit a small enclosure to which is associated a aljibe that still retains remains of the pointed cover vault. Below, there are remains of other larger buildings, a real castle flanked by masonry towers of armchairs at the angles and walls that close the enclosure. The communication between the two areas is carried out through a passage covered by a vault of half a barrel, also of masonry, and which preserves the remains of enlucido.

The whole construction is mounted on top of the rock that serves as a foundation. The original paraments with a strong deterioration are masked by recent remodeling.

From the Castle of Solera, of Nazari origin, you can see splendid views of the Vega in which the Jandulilla River and the Garganton River converge, as well as the village of Bélmez de la Moraleda and the Torreón del Lucero, which gives an idea of the defensive system that these lands had in the past.
