History of Bil-Bil Castle
Bil-Bil Castle was designed by the architect Enrique Atencia and built in the middle of this beach in 1927 by the Hermann family, who could not enjoy it due to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
After the war, the castle passed through different owners until 1980 when it was acquired by the municipality, which manages it today. Numerous cultural events, weddings, exhibitions, or concerts are held there.
The castle has a length of 400 meters and an average width of 20 meters, with red plaster on its exterior, half-arched windows, bas-reliefs, and decorated with tiles. Its nighttime lighting, along with its exterior gardens, gives it a special charm.
