Castell de Ferro, is a typical Spanish village situated on the Meditterrranean coast of the Costa Tropical and  offers excellent holiday rental accommodation within a town steeped in the history of the beautiful Costa Tropical coastline.  It has an Arab-origin castle-fortress in the centre, a witness to the historical past of this part of the Costa Tropical. Together with a good variety of holiday rental apartments , villas and village houses, Castell de Ferro has a long beach and golf can be found close by at Los Moriscos Golf Course, Playa Granada. In the winter months Castell de Ferro has a population of around 3,000 however in the summer this increases to approximately 6,000.

Castell de Ferro centres around a main square where most of the towns activities take place (although in the summer months activities stretch all along the sea front).  In the square there are a number of little bars and restaurants which generate a lively atmosphere.  All the local amenities are situated within walking distance of the square, there are 3 supermarkets, newspaper shops, ironmongery, tobacconist, a delicatessen and much more.  The weekly outdoor market can be found each Saturday opposite the main village square, although in summer months this is moved further down the promenade to a different site (due to the size of the market).

The Promenade in Castell de Ferro is a really fantastic, making a lovely walk that stretches some 2 miles in length, and can be extended to 3 miles if you move off the promenade onto the beach. The beach here is mainly pebbles, however in some stretches on the west side of the beach, sand can be found.
 
This is still a very traditional village on the coast and remains largely Spanish speaking and untouched by tourism. Castell de Ferro has a quiet peaceful atmosphere where the nightlife is low profile and mainly centres around the bars and restaurants.

Excellent accommodation can be found at the Costa Sol Hostal in the main square or out of the village on the main N340 road there is a hotel with a swimming pool. There are also a wide variety of apartments, villas and cortijos for rent.
