Location

[edit]

@Asqueladd: I see that the sources previous attached to the sentence with the location Colmenar de Oreja were wrong. The identification, however, can be found in Barton 1992 and in Reilly 1998, p. 65. The castle in question is almost midway between Ontígola and Colmenar, relying on es.wiki's coordinates.

Yep, Oreja is also a depopulated settlement to the east of the castle (curiously the settlement is at a higher altitude than the castle, which lies on a rocky spur). As you can see here both fall within the municipal bounds of Ontígola. Currently cited source (Larrén Izquierdo) also provides a map in page 34.--Asqueladd (talk) 18:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
