Castell de Busot

Castell de Busot is a 12th-century Arab castle perched on a hilltop in Alicante's scenic region, offering commanding views of the surrounding landscape. Originally constructed as an important strategic military point in medieval times, the castle has been carefully restored to allow visitors to explore its historical significance. Though substantial ruins remain rather than complete structures, the site attracts hikers and cyclists seeking both cultural heritage and panoramic vistas. The site features well-maintained public baths at its base and opportunities to explore natural cave formations in the area. Visitors appreciate the ambiance of this Muslim castle ruin, its elevated position overlooking the countryside, and its role in the region's layered Islamic and medieval history.
