What it is and what you will see
Monturque sits on an outlier, a plateau-shaped hill that withstood the erosion of the Campiña, and this route covers it from bottom to top. It climbs Calle Reyes Católicos to the Paseo de La Plancha and, through steep streets, reaches the upper part, where the cryptoporticus of the Los Paseíllos archaeological site and the castle keep stand. It then comes down Calle Séneca past remains of the old medieval fortress. The accompanying visit is to the Roman cisterns of Monturque, one of the most striking hydraulic complexes in the province.
