Cástaras is located in the south face of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada and it is starting to gain a well-deserved fame for its wine production. It shares the typical features of all Alpujarra villages, i.e. a single type of architecture in the buildings, adapted to the structure of the land and to the climate of the AREA, which is characterized by narrow streets with memories of a Moorish past.
In the outskirts there are remains of the mines of El Conjuro.
In the heart of the Alpujarra, a unique natural connection between the Mediterranean coast and Sierra Nevada, towered by the highest peaks of the Peninsula, Cástaras is a place to visit as part of the Alpujarra route.
It has a dependent hamlet called Nieles.
