You go half the way by car if you have. The rest is on an gravel path to the fortress. I walked up easy with sandals. 15 minuts. Excellent 250 degrees view. Better than you can imagine. Go behind and get amazed. With better shoes and time, you should go the whole way up to the cross on Monte del San Miguel.

Around the mountain San Miguel there is a walking trail excavated in the stone that surround the mountain with nice views of Orihuela, its orchard and the days with good visibility even Murcia.The walking trail is easy but you must be ready

It starts at the Seminary. There is limited parking at the top of the seminary. Trail is pretty straight forward and has small arrows painted on the rocks to help guide you.

Very beautiful old town, smell of antiquity and good to walk around

A-mazing climb....

Nice place for a short hiking with small kids. No tickets area.

The climb is worth it. The views from there are beautiful.

Amazing view. Good hiking boots needed

The ruins of the castle are in poor condition. The views are magnificent from the mountain down to the city. Challenging nature trail up to the ruins.

Stunning views. A steep walk but worth it. Orihuela is also a lovely town.

It's quite climb, so be advised to go early on thr day, bring sunscreen and enough water. Might not br suitable for childeren. It granda you a beautiful view over the city. Read up on the historics, it's quite funny to learn why this fort is now a ruins

Very nice view over the city and way more. Take sunscreen, it can be very hot and sunny during the day.

Incredible views

It was very nice to walk around "Sendero San Miguel" .

It is a walk of more or less 30 minutes from the bottom, it is a very good viewpoint of the city
