Spain is famous for its friendly inhabitants, relaxed lifestyle, its cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and world-famous folklore and festivities, and its history as the core of the vast Spanish Empire. The most popular beaches are the ones along the Mediterranean coast and on the Canary Islands. Meanwhile, for hiking, the mountains of Sierra Nevada in the south, the Central Cordillera and the northern Pyrenees are the best places. Historically, Spain has been an important crossroads: between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, between North Africa and Europe, and as Europe began colonizing the New World, between Europe and the Americas. As such, the country is blessed with a fantastic collection of historical landmarks. The Spanish are very passionate about their cuisine, based on great food and wine. Spanish food can be described as quite light with a lot of vegetables and a huge variety of meat and fish.

Albanchez de Mágina Castle is a Spanish fortification and Bien de Interés Cultural landmark in the Province of Jaén. It is located on the eastern slope of La Serrezuela, in Albanchez de Mágina in a very rugged area, at an elevation of 950 meters, overlooking a large valley. While the exact date of construction is not known, some authors (Cerezo and Eslava) speculate it could date to the 14th century.
