August 2025 Evening tours and dinner Lorca castle
A full evening package including guided tour and dinner in the Las Caballerizas restaurant inside the Fortress of the Sun
Every summer the management of Lorca castle, one of the most iconic medieval fortifications in southern Spain, offers a selection of evening events to appeal to all members of the public, and 2025 is no exception with this complete package offering a great experience at the impregnable Fortress of the Sun.
From the 13th to the late 15th century Lorca castle stood on the frontier between two civilizations the Christian lands which had been taken from the Moors in the “Reconquista” and the Islamic kingdom of Andalucía, and the guided tours held during these special visiting evenings include the chance to climb to the top of the keep named the Torre del Espolón. In addition, the visit includes parts of the interior of the fortress such as the water tanks which made it possible to resist sieges.
This is followed by a mouth-watering dinner in the Las Caballerizas restaurant, which is located in the main courtyard of the castle alongside the magnificent Torre Alfonsina, named after King Alfonso X (1252-84).
These tours take place in August on Thursdays and Saturdays except 30th August and the package is priced at 39.95 for adults and 19.95 for children. Booking is available online here.
Further information is available by telephone on 968 479003 and 968 959646 and by email at info@lorcatallerdeltiempo.com and recepcion.fortaleza@lorca.net.
