Castillo de la Estrella (The Star Castle), Teba, Guadalteba (Málaga)
The first section of this building comprises the towers and walls of a Roman castle while the rest is Arabic. It affords marvellous views of the town and its surroundings.
Declared a National Monument of Historical and Artistic Interest in 1931, it is located atop a hill known as Cerro de la Estrella, from which the castle's name is derived. Standing 600 metres high, it was of immense strategic importance, since it overlooks not only the town that lies at its feet but also the wide plains that provide the northern entrance to the Serranía de Ronda mountains.
It covers a surface area of some 25,000 square metres, making it one of the largest still standing in the province of Malaga. It features two walled areas and its exterior, which is adapted to the surrounding terrain, is reinforced by a barbican in the north east, with a total of 18 towers and a further octagonal structure facing north. The fortress contained inside was home to the lord of the castle. Throughout its history, its border location has seen it occupied by a variety of different cultures, undergoing a number of extensions as a result.

The Battle of Teba
The Battle of Teba took place in August 1330, in the valley below the fortress of Teba, now a town in the province of Málaga in Andalusia, southern Spain. The encounter occurred during the frontier campaign waged between 1327-1333 by Alfonso XI of Castile, against Muhammed IV, Sultan of Granada.
In 1325, King Alfonso declared war on the Moorish Emirate of Granada and invited other Christian kings to join him in a new crusade. This project came to nothing but Alfonso nevertheless proceeded with a campaign against the western frontier of Granada. In 1327, he captured the castles of Olvera, Pruna and Torre Alhaquime. In 1330, a second expedition was mounted to attack the castle of Teba, twenty five miles east of Olvera and a key fortification in the defences of Malaga. Alfonso established his headquarters at Cordoba and sent word to his nobles and knights to concentrate there. A contingent of five hundred knights was also sent by the King of Portugal. By the end of July Alfonso was preparing to march down the Roman road to Ecija where an advance base was to be set up.
Scottish knights errant
In 1329, as Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, lay dying he made one last request of his friend and lieutenant, Sir James Douglas. The King charged that, after his death, Sir James should take his embalmed heart and bear it with him on crusade, thus fulfilling the pledge that Bruce had been unable to honour in his lifetime. The projected campaign in Spain offered Sir James the ideal opportunity. In the spring of 1330, armed with a safe conduct from Edward III of England and a letter of recommendation to King Alfonso XI of Castile, Douglas set off from Berwick and sailed first to Sluys in Flanders.
Here, according to the contemporary Walloon chronicler Jean Le Bel, Douglas' company consisted of one knight banneret, six ordinary knights and twenty esquires. It is not clear whether the knight banneret was Sir James himself. Other knights named by the Scottish poet John Barbour included Sir William de Keith, Sir William de St. Clair of Rosslyn and the brothers Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig and Sir Walter Logan. Others alleged at one time or another to have accompanied Douglas are John de St. Clair, younger brother of Sir William, Sir Simon Lockhart of Lee, Sir Kenneth Moir, William Borthwick, Sir Alan Cathcart and Sir Robert de Glen but evidence is lacking. There appears to be no historical basis for claims that any of these men were connected with the Order of the Knights Templar, dissolved by Pope Clement V in 1312, eighteen years previously.
Le Bel relates that the Scots party remained at Sluys for twelve days, with Douglas holding court on board ship as if the late king were present.[4] It may be he was awaiting news of the planned crusade and on learning that, despite the withdrawal of his allies, King Alfonso still intended to go to war, he finally set sail for Spain. After a stormy passage, the party arrived at the mouth of the Guadalquivir, probably sometime in late June, and disembarked upstream at Seville.
March to Teba
Douglas presented his credentials to Alfonso XI. According to John Barbour, the King offered Douglas riches, fine horses and armour. Sir James declined these gifts, declaring that he and his men were prepared to offer their arms in the service of the king as humble pilgrims, seeking absolution for their sins. Alfonso accepted and assigned experienced soldiers, accustomed to the style of fighting on the Frontera, as advisors to Douglas and his fellow knights. While the Scots rested after their long voyage and waited for the expedition to depart, many foreign knights who had come to seek service with Alfonso of Castile paid their respects to Douglas, including a number of Englishmen who were particularly keen to meet the man who until recently had been their nemesis.
Castillos de Ardales, Cañete la Real y Teba, Guadalteba (Málaga)
Tres importantes castillos forman parte de la red de patrimonio de Guadalteba.
1. CASTILLO DE LA PEÑA DE ARDALES
Fortaleza que conserva las ruinas de un castillo medieval (siglo noveno al quince) y una gran iglesia mudéjar (siglo quince) que contiene un impresionante artesonado y varias capillas barrocas.
El castillo, situado sobre un promontorio rocoso a 496 metros de altitud, domina el núcleo de población asentado a sus pies y la ancha llanura que se extiende en dirección a la Sierra de Peñarrubia y que constituye una de las entradas naturales hacia Málaga, de ahí su importancia estratégica.
La fortaleza tiene comunicación visual con la torre almenara de la Sierra de Peñarrubia y el castillo de Turón, con el que estará muy vinculado. Aunque han aparecido restos materiales desde la Prehistoria, período Calcolítico, los restos que actualmente se conservan corresponden a la época medieval.
2. CASTILLO DE HINS CANIT (CAÑETE LA REAL)
Castillo árabe que inicia su construcción en el siglo noveno y finaliza en el dieciséis. Esta gran fortificación fue una de las más importantes dentro del levantamiento de Humar Bem Hafsum y durante las guerras cristianas y granadinas.
El origen del nombre se remonta a la denominación árabe Hins Cannit o Qanit, que significa Castillo de Canit o, según el autor que se consulte, el término Cannit hace referencia a los caños que aún existen en los alrededores del casco urbano. El nombre actual deriva de ese término, al que se le sumó el calificativo de Real, tras una orden de Alfonso Undécimo.

Journey to Teba in Andalucia, Spain 2012
Allan & Malcolm on the road again.
This trip is a must, for those with a drop of Scottish blood in their veins. Your guide will take you through the life, and often violent times, of the young James Douglas. From the day he swore allegiance to Robert the Bruce, stood shoulder to shoulder with him at the decisive Battle of Bannockburn , this most loyal and constant companion became an incredibly talented military commander and the scourge of his enemies, who bestowed on him the title of Black Douglas.
You will hear how, before he died in 1329A.D., King Robert the Bruce made it his last request that Douglas, as his oldest and most trusted companion-in-arms, should cut out his heart, embalm it in a silver casket, carry it to the Holy Land, and deposit it in the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem.
Douglas's journey brought him to Seville, and across Andalucia to TEBA, where he joined forces with King Alfonso XI of Spain, who, in 1330 A.D., was attempting to remove the Moorish garrison from the Castle of the Stars. The Christian army lay siege to the Castle, but were engaged by a Moorish army, led by Osmyn , a notable soldier, who had come to relieve the Castle. In the battle that ensued, Black Douglas and almost all of the men who fought by his side were slain. The remaining Scots searched the battlefield and retrieved the body of Douglas with the silver casket containing his King's heart, beneath him.

En la Historia General de España, el padre Mariana relata el hecho más sobresaliente producido en Teba desde la muerte del caudillo árabe Omar Ben Hafsun, el héroe de Bobastro: la conquista de la Villa por Alfonso Undécimo el 20 de enero de 1389. Entre las víctimas de la batalla, destaca la muerte de Sir James Douglas, caballero leal del rey Roberto Primero de Escocia que luchó junto a las tropas cristianas.
Este hecho se relata en una lápida que existe en la villa, ofrecida por el pueblo escocés de Melrose, con el que Teba está hermanado, y que fue traída por los descendientes de aquel caballero británico, que perdió su vida en la conquista del pueblo malagueño. Otra de las anécdotas hace referencia a la emperatriz de los franceses Eugenia de Montijo, quién era descendiente de los primeros conquistadores de Teba, la familia Martín Fernán de Portocarrero y la familia de Juan Ramírez de Guzmán, nombrado primer señor de Teba.

Monument in honour of Sir James Douglas
This building is constructed in Mannerist style and is dated back to the XVIth century. Its original front is still seen.
In the General History of Spain, Father Mariana recounts the story of the most incredible event to happen in the area of Teba since the death of the Arab leader Arab Omar Ibn Hafsun, the hero of Bobastro: the conquest of the town by Alfonso 11th on 20th January 1389.
Amongst the dead from the battle was Sir James Douglas, who was a knight loyal to King Robert 1st of Scotland who fought along side the Christian troops. This detail is part of a story that is engraved on a stone tablet that is in the village, which was given by the Scottish village of Melrose, which is today twinned with Teba. It was carried personally by members of the dead knights family all the way from Scotland in order to comemorate his couragous fight on behalf of this town of Malaga. Another of the anecdotes that is told is about the French Empress Eugenia de Montijo, who was a descendent of the first conquerers of Teba, the Martín Fernán de Portocarrero and the Juan Ramírez de Guzmán families. Juan Ramírez de Guzmán was named the first Lord of Teba.
