Property in Spain's castles and battles route offers a chance to get involved in the history of the nationFor a break from the traditional sun, sea and sand holiday, property in Spain's castles and battles route could be an ideal alternative.

The route covers nine different locations, with events taking place at these until mid-October, having started in mid-June.

Andalusia's tourism authority says: "The most important fortresses and battles in this part of Spain are all included in the tour."

People planning to head to property in Spain in September have the chance to catch one of the events along the route, in Arjonilla.

On September 24th-26th, the community celebrates the life – and death – of its last great mediaeval poet.

The Fiestas Medievales de Arjonilla recognises Macias, who originally came from Padron.

After relocating to Arjonilla, he was welcomed by the locals and remains celebrated since his death there in 1434.

Locations throughout the town are planned to host activities aimed at visitors of any age, making the festival ideal for couples or families alike.
