 P.º Santo Domingo de Guzmán, 500, 40003 Segovia, Spain

Spanish have many castles and ancient castle ruins dotted through-out the country as the country was continuously at war more than most battle hardened countries even the U.K in many aspects, with many opposing continents. The Spanish needed (had) to be early adopters to heavily fortified positions even to the point they'd make full on strong-holds from the very vessels themselves that would travel to these locations, right up to the late 1950's were the Spanish at war with themselves, some (vast sway) would argue these feuds continue even today.

You can see alot of pride in alot of castles that's lacking in more unforgiving geographic landscapes, but due to calm and relaxing atmosphere of the weather you can really see personality in these castle strong-holds cause they weren't built to look pretty they were built to prevent crusades or in the Spanish case embroil in those crusades
