The Castillo Guzmán el Bueno (Spanish) for "The castle of Guzman the good"), also called Tarifa Castle, is a castle in the coastal town of Tarifa in Spain. It is more than 800 years old. Recently refurbished, it is open to visitors. The coast and mountains of Morocco are visible from its towers. Alonso Pérez de Guzmán obtained the title "the good" by sacrificing his son to the invading hordes.
