The walk up to the fortress is a bit over 3 kilometers. The path is a solid road, so it’s manageable, but it’s quite steep and there’s not much shade along the way — bring water and a hat if you're going during the day. Unfortunately, the fortress at the top is closed and fenced off, so you can’t go inside. However, it’s still worth the hike for the beautiful panoramic views of Cartagena and the surrounding area. There is a public parking lot right at the base of the hill, which makes the start of the hike easily accessible.

Not too steep and not too high. a perfect climb for beginners. The path is in pretty good condition too. There’s a few signs saying “no entry” and that it’s owned by the military but no need to panic the area is safe and free to enter. The castle itself is closed off to the public but the views from outside it are spectacular. Also on the way down I’d recommend taking a detour to the fortress of Fajardo where you can see more of the old military bases...

Mi visita al Castillo de Galeras fue una experiencia verdaderamente impresionante. Situado en la costa de la región de Murcia, España, este imponente castillo se alza majestuosamente sobre un acantilado, ofreciendo unas vistas panorámicas que quitan el aliento. Desde el momento en que llegué, me sentí transportado a un mundo de historia y belleza natural.

Lo primero que llamó mi atención fue la arquitectura del castillo. Sus murallas de piedra imponentes y sus torres de vigilancia me recordaron la rica historia militar de la región. A medida que exploraba sus pasillos y estancias, podía sentir la magnificencia del pasado y la importancia estratégica que tenía este lugar en tiempos antiguos.

Las vistas desde el Castillo de Galeras son sencillamente espectaculares. Desde lo alto de sus torres, pude contemplar el Mar Mediterráneo extendiéndose hasta el horizonte y las playas doradas que bordean la costa murciana. La brisa marina y el sonido de las olas añadieron una dimensión extra de serenidad a mi visita.

El castillo también alberga un pequeño museo que cuenta la historia de la zona y su relevancia a lo largo de los siglos. Fue fascinante aprender sobre los eventos históricos que tuvieron lugar en este sitio y cómo ha evolucionado a lo...

The best views of Cartagena about 1000 ft above sea level. Very isolated, access the main trail up the mountain to the right of Navantia's main entrance. Just go around the gate that states "your not allowed" lol I did the paved switch back on a borrowed mountain bike, a good pair of running or walking shoes is also ideal.
