Castillo o Torre Castillo o Torre (Castle and Tower) is located in La Torre d'En Besora, "comarca" of Alt Maestrat, Castellón, Valencia, Spain. The ruins are classified as a Bien de Interés Cultural landmark, "Monumento por declaración genérica" (12.02.119.001 Code). The town of La Torre d'En Besora began as an Arab farmhouse, though archaeological investigations later came to believe that there might have been previous Iberian settlement in the area. This settlement was known as "Vinrabino", and it had a defensive tower, as was common at the time. After the troops of Jaime I of Aragon reconquered these lands, the settlement was renamed "Tower of Vinrabí", and it was subsequently affiliated with Blasco de Alagón, Guillem de Anglesola, and Ramon de Besora. During the time of Besora, he was awarded the Town Charter on January 5, 1274. He decided to rebuild, in part, the tower of the old Muslim farmstead, and added an adjoining fortified manor house next to it. The village which grew around it became known as "La Torre d'En Besora", Hispanicized as "Torre de Embesora", and it came to mean "Torre del señor Besora" (tower of Mr. Besora). Over time, the strategic importance of the castle diminished, which led to its abandonment and ruin. Some of its materials were used for the construction of the parish church of St. Bartholomew during the 18th century.

It may also be a modification of Huguenot French origin, probably a variant of "d'Aunay", of geographical origin. It may be also a Gaelic patronymic, since it is a common forename in Ireland.

NOTAM A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) is a notice filed with an aviation authority to alert aircraft pilots of potential hazards along a flight route or at a location that could affect the safety of the flight. NOTAMs are unclassified notices or advisories distributed by means of telecommunication that contain information concerning the establishment, conditions or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel and systems concerned with flight operations. NOTAMs are created and transmitted by government agencies and airport operators under guidelines specified by Annex 15: Aeronautical Information Services of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (CICA). The term NOTAM came into common use rather than the more formal "Notice to Airmen" following the ratification of the CICA, which came into effect on 4 April 1947. Notices to Airmen were normally published in a regular publication by each country's air authorities (e.g., in "Flight Magazine" in the UK). A number of developments and amendments to the CICA have resulted in the more automated system available today.
