Castillo Fortaleza de Ainsa are remains of the old castle of Ainsa, a very beautiful town in Aragonese Pyrenees, in the North of Spain. In fact, you can see it, when you enter to the old town and it is possible to go up to the walls and enjoy with the wonderful views of Pyrenees and the town. Also, you can see a big old square in the entrance. Very nice. (see also Plaza Mayor, Iglesia de Santa María, Eco Museo - Centro de Visitantes, Iglesia Parroquial de Sta. Maria, La Tea)…

Between the car park and plaza mayor sits the castle which is just a lovely space. Climbing the stairs to walk around the walls is easy and the views are great. Only thing to keep in minds is that the railings are not very ‘kid proof’ and I was aware that my toddler was at risk of tumbling between the railings and falling off the wall - very necessary to keep an extra close eye on the small ones…
