What it is and what you will see
Castro del Río is the October stop in the countryside for the Córdoba, Infinitas Experiencias programme. The day begins with a miller's breakfast and continues with a guided climb to the castle and the medieval walls that crown the La Villa quarter, the town's historic core. It also coincides with the Ars Olea craft fair, so the visit ends among live demonstrations of traditional trades, with artisans working wood and stone in front of the public. It is an easy way to get to know the town's heritage and its craft tradition in a single day, at no cost.
