Dawn breaks on January 1st, 1860, on the beach of Tarajal.

An impressive column of thousands of Spanish soldiers advances towards the valley of Castillejos, in the direction of Tetouan.

Ceuta suffocates within its territorial limits, and the attack on a military post months ago is the casus belli that the Spanish authorities needed to launch a punitive expedition that aims to attack Tetouan, secure Spanish rights in that area of North Africa, and recover the country´s lost prestige before the European powers.

´1860: Castillejos´ recounts, through the hand of the unforgettable Cadiz-born author Manuel Novoa, a very important episode in the history of Spain, one of the few wars of the 19th century that was truly popular among its contemporaries.

Along with him, historical figures such as Ramón Pulido, Luis García, Leopoldo O´Donnell, Ignacia Martínez, Miguel Lobo, Pedro Mur, Muley-el-Abbas, or Juan Prim himself, the hero of the expedition, come to life in these pages.
