The fourth edition of the Festival de los Castillos is scheduled to take place in the province of Cáceres, Spain, from September 19 to October 17. Organized by the Diputación de Cáceres, the event uses five historical fortresses—Montánchez, Valencia de Alcántara, Portezuelo, Trevejo, and Mirabel—as open-air theatrical stages.

Artistic director Javier Uriarte stated that the festival integrates the natural environment and the walk to the monuments into the performances. The event features local theater companies and aims to link heritage conservation with tourism and local economies. Due to the historical nature of the sites, seating is limited, with Montánchez and Valencia de Alcántara accommodating approximately 200 spectators each.
