Practical information

The Torreón complex (Tower and semi-detached house) is located in the urban center of the municipality of Las Gabias next to the Town Hall. It has good accessibility regarding its enclave. In the case of the Tower, it is limited because it is an old medieval military construction. Everything depends on what type of equipment or infrastructure is installed in case of filming (it is a protected monument with BIC character with certain dimensions). The opening hours are from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm.
