ARCHIVED - Saturday and Sunday family tours of Lorca castle Winter/Spring 2020
Lorca Castle can be enjoyed via a number of special packages and is open 7 days a week
Lorca castle is widely known as the “Fortaleza del Sol” or fortress of the sun, and during the best months of the year, when the cooler temperatures of winter make the castle a perfect daytrip out, general entry is priced at just 6 euros, including a visit to the visitor centre in the Convento de la Merced at the foot of the hill beforehand.
The castle can be visited without prior booking seven days a week and is open until 17:30 in the evening.
The castle continues to offer a number of special guided tours throughout the Winter/ early Spring of 2020, either with or without the option of a set meal in the on-site cafetería.
The theatrical guided tours are in Spanish, but non-Spanish speakers can take an audioguide in English to follow their own route their own way around the castle, and tapas and refreshments can be purchased on an individual basis from the terrace café on site. Alternatively, join in with the Spanish language tours to see limited access areas of the castle. Information boards are in dual languages and there's often someone on the tour keen to practice their English!
