Neo-Medieval Fortresses Hike

At the time of your choice, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Ceuta and drive to the Sierra Bullones to start a 6-kilometer hiking route. During the hike, we'll discover the history of the neo-medieval forts atop the seven hills that separate Spain from Morocco. The fortifications were constructed in the mid-19th century following the Spanish victory in the Battle of Wad-Ras. The towers have been used to safeguard the border.
