Tamajón,

Two kilometres to the north is the Hermitage of the Virgen de los Enebrales, the local Patron saint. Built in the 16th century, it was extended in the 18th century.

Cifuentes,

The origin, like many in the region, dates back to the times of the conquest of the Taifa of Toledo by the Christians of Castile, by the end of the 11th century. In the 12th century, with the reconquest of Cuenca, it became the head of the archpriest, growing and becoming the largest urban center in the region

Palazuelos,

One of the few medieval Spanish towns that preserve its walls intact. This detail, together with its ruined castle built on a hill, has earned it the nickname “Ávila Alcarreña”. Palazuelos surprises the visitor with the beauty of its medieval framework and its Romanesque hermitages

Pastrana,

The hamlet was presumably founded and settled by the Order of Calatrava, who ruled in the Alcarria region from their stronghold in Zorita after the late 12th century. Pastrana was granted the privilege of villazgo (‘township’) in 1369, thereby asserting autonomy from Zorita. Parallel to the decline of Zorita, the council of Pastrana consolidated during the 15th century, thriving as a market place

Hita,

Located at the foot of a perfectly conical hill, the town was walled, and some powerful canvases and the Puerta de Santa María are still preserved, both from the 15th century, which leads to the Plaza del Arcipreste, with traditional and partially supported buildings. A walk through the town leads us to the ruins of the 15th century Gothic church of San Pedro, destroyed during the civil war and, along a small path that runs along the hillside, to the church of San Juan Bautista, with its slender tower of herrerian style.

At the beginning of July, the Medieval Festival takes place, and it stands as one of the most important of this kind in Spain

Update:

Some of you might have already noticed...but we’ve made a few changes to our content creation. We would like to focus on three different areas, all within the Guadalajara province. These are: hidden gems in Guadalajara city itself, the history of different municipalities within the region, and the natural attractions the province offers.

The goal here is basically to talk more about what we really know. That doesn’t mean we won’t post about the rest of the country, or that we won’t include any other cities or regions in future trips. At this point, it simply makes our content more authentic and confident, while also aiming to elevate our website and YouTube presence to the next level.

The Guadalajara province will always be our primary focus along with Madrid and Barcelona in the future. From there, potential expansions will follow.

Chapel of Luis de Lucena in Guadalajara,

The chapel used to be next to the now-demolished San Miguel church. Although the brickwork is in the classic mudejar style, its erratic design is more reminiscent of Mannerism from the 16th century. The humanist Luis de Lucena may have designed it when he founded it in 1540.

Little circular towers resembling military structures are situated beneath an unusual eave on the Chapel of Lucena’s exterior walls. The chapel’s interior is equally imaginative, with Doric and Jonic-styled columns and a spiral staircase supported by a dais.

"Hayedo de la Tejera Negra" is a gem in the municipal area of Cantalojas, located in the northwest of the province, it is an example of the humid and wooded orchards that the Central System was in other times.
