Castril is a beautiful historic village tucked away high at the end of a ravine. At the bottom of the ravine and below the village flows the Rio Castril, a river in a lower gorge with a walking path along it. Characteristic is the castle on the rock and the many flowers that adorn the village. Also a nice village to eat or drink in one of the many bars.

Population that is under the Peña de Castril, a very large stone that casts a shadow on the core. Close to the Portillo Reservoir, and governed by the Sierra de Castril, which has the same name as the town.
