The entrance covers the actual museum, which has an incredible array of artefacts as well as a large section of the Ancient Roman ruins. However, it also covers a second archeological site further into the town, of a section of Ancient Roman road and pavement - complete with two game boards carved into the pavement. The staff close the main building to lead you up to the second. There are presumably few visitors, which is a shame. We were delightfully surprised at the standard and quality of the two parts. The man on the desk was wonderfully helpful and polite. A little gem of a place.

The Castle of Jimena is a special stop for my family. I have lived in the region for many years and have enjoyed bringing visitors to this site. We enjoy driving to the parking area by the ancient church at the very top of town. From there it is only a few steps from the entry ramp, where history has played itself out with the first Iberians, Romans, Moors and Spaniards. A historian will note that much of historic Jimena was damaged during the great battles fought bravely against the French during the War of Independence two hundred years ago. My family enjoys the free entry to the castle, the beautiful panoramic views, and the hiking trails down to Ruta Vega de Hozgarganta and views of the ruins of the military munitions factory on the banks of the Hozgarganta River.

First stop is the tourist office to get a map. You follow the trail as it winds its way through the narrow streets and up to the castle. It is quite a hike and gets steel towards the end. Warm enough in February so what it is like in the height of summer I dread to think. At the top the entrance fee is 3 euros pp and you are rewarded with spectacular 360 degrees view out to sea, inland and possibly Africa on a clear day. The castle is in ruins though elements of Roman times are visible. Worth the effort!
