Very good place to go and rest, well studied all the details android the pools and the experience to follow. We were going during post-quarantine and found everything will organized to keep us safe from covid. The environment and the workers there were nice and professional. It's a very good place to go and it's near Madrid...

We go there every year during our Madrid holidays. However, this time it was crowded, at least 90-100 people in there on a Monday morning. There was never a feeling of relaxation as it was loud and you had to queue for whirlpools and salt baths. Also Saunas need maintenance, wooden panels in Finnish sauna literally fall off.
Alksjndrs F — Google review
It's quite hard to access this place if you're coming using public transportation. The Bus drops you off in Griñón, then there is almost no sidewalk to walk there. All the pools are in one big room, and it's LOUD. You won't relax. The accumulated noise of the jets and people yelling, poor acoustic, you might leave with a headache. The facilities are nice though, I liked the floating pool and the Roman baths (some efforts could have been made decorating the ceiling). The circuito de duchas is cold, couldn't even try it. I was a bit bothered having to wear socks all the time, but why not. 37€ is quite expensive for what it is

At the beer festival in Madrid, no chance to try a beer. Pay and take your luck. Sorry, but this is not the form at a beer festival. I will not drink their beer again. Perhaps it is good, but if I can't try it how do I know? I would encourage this brewery not to attend future beer festivals as they clearly don't understand the culture of beer. And so I doubt their beer is any good.

Museo de Falúas Reales

Mentioned on

History museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Museo de Falúas Reales is a unique museum located in the Princes Garden, offering visitors one of the most interesting experiences in Aranjuez. It showcases several well-preserved royal barges from the 19th century, including the notable barge that belonged to Charles IV. These opulent boats were used by Spanish kings for recreational rides on the Tagus River and other locations in Madrid.
Tucked away in the serene Jardín del Príncipe, the Museo de Falúas Reales is a hidden gem that left me in awe! This small but stunning museum showcases a collection of beautifully preserved royal boats used by Spanish monarchs to glide along the Tagus River. The golden glow of Carlos II’s ornate falúa is a showstopper imagine royalty cruising in such splendor! The displays are well-maintained, and the signage (in Spanish and English) offers fascinating insights into their history. It’s included with the Royal Palace ticket, so it’s a must-visit if you’re in Aranjuez. Be warned: no photos are allowed, which adds to the magic of experiencing it firsthand. The short walk through the gardens to reach the museum is a treat in itself. Perfect for history buffs or anyone looking for a unique, offbeat attraction. Go early to avoid crowds and soak in the charm

It was built between 1963 and 1966. There is feluccas and relics used by the Spanish royal family. If you show the ticket you bought when going to Palacio Real de Aranjuez, you can enter for free.

Royal Palace of Aranjuez

Mentioned on

Castle
Nature & Parks
The Royal Palace of Aranjuez, an 18th-century royal residence, boasts ornately decorated rooms including a dance hall and throne room. Originally commissioned by Philip II in 1561 to replace the old Aranjuez residence, the palace was completed by Philip V in 1715. The palace features over 300 rooms filled with royal ornamentation and is reminiscent of France's Versailles. Located near Madrid, it's easily accessible by train from Atocha station for a day trip.
Aranjuez makes for a lovely day trip coming down from Madrid and the Palacio Real is a must visit here. The site dates back to 1560 when King Philip II commissioned the palace as part of a wider series of seasonal residences. The palace was easy to get into and was not very busy as we visited on a work day, the architecture and surrounding gardens were really beautiful and I was super impressed/ surprised by the great variety of different styles present in each of the rooms of the palace. The town is accessible by public transport from central Madrid using the C3 cercanías line and will take 45 minutes to an hour depending on where you hop on the train. The town is quite charming to visit and one can still use the Madrid tarjeta de transport pe público when using the local buses here too. After visiting the palace I highly recommend I visit to the sizeable Jardín de la Isla and Jardín del Príncipe royal gardens
Rohan H — Google review
A fabulous Royal Palace with gardens that deserves your visit. The famous gardens here were the inspiration for the musical piece "Concierto de Aranjuez". This was one of the favorite musical pieces of my father which inspired me to visit. When we attend they were doing a lot of construction and renovation which detracted from the experience. It was still well worth visiting. We said to ourselves we would love to come back when they're done with the renovation work. We were not able to visit the fabulous garden with the fountain because of this renovation work. The other gardens were open with several working fountains and some fountains that were not flowing.
Raymond A — Google review
One of the must-see places in Aranjuez. This place is so beautiful and so detailed. I forgot to take photos of some spots because they were so beautiful 🤦🏻‍♀️ As the the UNESCO World Heritage site and a former spring residence of the Spanish royal family. Located in the town of Aranjuez, the estate includes the palace, extensive gardens, and other buildings like the Casa del Labrador.
Setiawaty L — Google review
At just 60 minutes from the Madrid center via Cercanias C3 train. Very well preserved and restored, it was the royal palace for the spanish throne until Elizabeth II after which the seat was moved to Madrid. From the outside it may seem unassuming architecture but the interior has the grandeur you can find in the Royal Palace in Madrid. The main stairs are a late addition which serves as a great intro with an interesting story. The 'Gabinete Árabe' smoking room, my favorite part of the visit because you don't expect a room like that in the seat of catholic kings and queens, is a breathtaking representation of arabic interior design, replicating part of the Alhambra of Granada. I strongly recommend taking the guided tour. It lasts about 75 minutes, our guide was very knowledgeable and eloquent. The tour gives you private access to some of the best crafted rooms with outstanding ornaments and intimate details of the consort spaces. Just one photo of the exterior to avoid spoilers 😁

The Royal Palace of Aranjuez is a stunning royal residence about 1 hr. from Madrid, historical architecture and its vast,beautiful gardens along the Tagus River. Inside, highlights include the Porcelain Room and Arab Room, filled with intricate decoration and history. Less crowded than Madrid’s main palace, peaceful and scenic experience — perfect for a day trip.

This is a great little getaway that is only an hour by train from Madrid. It is absolutely lovely to wander the gardens around the palace. Inside the palace are lovely rooms that the Royal family that used to stay and live in. The tickets were very inexpensive and this trip is great for half a day. We got some drinks afterwards at the restaurant nearby. If you’re looking for a half day trip from Madrid, this is it!

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Puerta del Sol is a medieval gate in Toledo's old town, dating back to the 14th century. It features an arched entryway and offers picturesque city views from the walking path next to it. The gate is adorned with a medallion depicting the city's patron saint and images of the sun and moon added in the 16th century, giving it its name.
The Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun) is a historic city gate in Toledo, Spain, built in the late 14th century by the Knights Hospitaller. Here are some interesting facts about it: Its name comes from the sun and moon that were once painted on either side of a medallion above the arch.The medallion still remains and depicts the ordination of Saint Ildephonsus, the patron saint of Toledo. The gate was built during the Christian reconquest of Spain from the Moors and was one of the main entrances to the walled city. While the gate itself is no longer there, the entrance remains an interesting piece of Toledo's history.

The monastery Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes is a 15th-century Franciscan church built in the style of Elizabethan Gothic in honor of Prince John during the reign of Isabella and Ferdinand II of Aragon. It features ornate two-tiered cloisters, now run by Franciscans.
The monastery was our favourite sights to visit in Toledo. We visited on a Monday afternoon and had no wait time to enter. The price is very reasonable considering you get access to most of the premises including the courtyard and church. There are no available bathrooms, however there are free public bathrooms in the plaza around the corner. There is plenty of seating to sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful scenery. A must visit in Toledo!

The Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo is stunning! I wasn’t able to go inside unfortunately, but the exterior is breathtaking. I loved the unique Gothic details and the chains hanging from the walls. It makes for a great photo stop. It’s very affordable, only a few Euros to enter. I wish I had more time! The entire surrounding Jewish Quarter is full of charm, with narrow streets and a peaceful plaza perfect for wandering and taking photos. Great place to walk through when in Toledo!

The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Toledo. The architecture is breathtaking, especially the cloister with its detailed stone carvings and quiet garden. The mix of Gothic and Mudejar styles makes it truly unique. It’s not as crowded as other attractions, so you can take your time and really enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely gorgeous monastery! I especially loved the small garden in the courtyard. The attached cathedral is also huge and impressive....especially considering that Toledo isn't particularly big. We parked near Puerta del Sol, and so it was a further walk to get here than to many of the other sights, but this was my favorite stop. Highly recommended!

History Museums
The Army Museum, located in Toledo, Spain, is a national institution that offers a comprehensive insight into the history of the Spanish military. Housed within the impressive Alcazar castle, this museum showcases an extensive collection of armor, weapons, paintings, and other historical exhibits. Visitors can explore the museum's displays spanning from the Roman Empire to modern times. While currently undergoing renovations with limited access, it remains an intriguing destination for those interested in Spanish and military history.
We visited the Army Museum and Alcazar on the advice of a blog about a day trip to Toledo. We took the first Friday morning train in mid-March so we had time to get breakfast and walk up through the town before the museum opened right at 10. Because of minor renovations, part of the museum was closed and all entrances were free. We started at the foundations then went outside to see the tanks. Inside were exhibits about Spanish military from near-prehistoric times through reconquista, colonization, and modernity. Some great armor and artwork. The best part, of course, was the Alcazar itself. You have to walk outside, within the walls of the site, to go up an incline (it's Toledo) into the old royal fortress. See a lovely courtyard and great views.
Chelsea D — Google review
It was a shame that when I visited in August the military Museum was closed, but at least the entry fee was reduced. The ancient part of the Museum is interesting and I enjoyed going through the evolution of this fort. Hopefully, the Museum will be fully operative soon.
Francesco M — Google review
A lovely new museum of military history. Don’t expect to see much of the historic building. They preserved a few pieces of the old fortress but not enough to make it worth visiting for that. The map is good, make sure you follow it. If you happen to wander off of the prescribed path it can be very difficult to get back into the exhibition. There are many interesting items on display and they are well organized. They are all displayed in white display boxes with a small sign in the corner. You must follow the path through the white boxes as you cannot see anything other than what is directly in front of you and the back side of other while boxes. All indications that you are in a historic building are hidden There is one open area where the ancient foundations are visible which leads to the patio and garden where some larger items are displayed If you are a weapons buff or Spanish military supporter this is for you

The Army Museum in Toledo is a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in military heritage. Located within the historic Alcázar of Toledo, the museum offers an impressive collection of artifacts and exhibits that span centuries of military history. The displays are well-organized and informative, covering various aspects of Spain's military past, from ancient times to modern conflicts. I particularly enjoyed the sections dedicated to 18 century. The museum's setting in the Alcázar adds to the experience, providing stunning views of Toledo and its surroundings. The building itself is a piece of history, adding an extra layer of depth to the visit. Overall, the Army Museum is a well-curated and educational experience that offers valuable insights into Spain's military history. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Toledo!

Free on Wednesdays, when we visited. Pristine and interesting exhibits but the museum seemed disjointed to us. We had a difficult time following the themed paths. We wish it had been chronologically organized so a better view of Toledo’s history could be understood. It was difficult to follow and we missed understanding more about the Spanish Inquisition and the Franco regime. But cannot complain as it was free. Bathrooms abound and a lovely terrace to look over the city. Lockers available.

Definitely worth the ticket price. This place is packed full of history which was a real treat. The whole family really enjoyed this place. It took us 3 hours to walk the whole place and check out all the beautiful things. The Staff here were pretty awesome and full of knowledge. We basically got a private tour just by asking questions as they were very forthcoming with information and behind the scenes knowledge. Overall if your looking for a great place to explore pick here

Samurai in Toledo: The Army Museum’s Identity Crisis Museo del Ejército, Toledo The Army Museum in Toledo begins not with banners waving or cannons booming, but with stone. You descend into the Alcázar’s underbelly and find yourself in the company of Romans: arches, walls, and foundations whispering in Latin. It feels less like a military museum and more like an archaeological dig, as if the whole fortress has been peeled back layer by layer to show its bones. Then the escalators arrive. Dozens of them. Long, gleaming flights carrying you up, down, sideways, through concrete and glass. By the time you’ve ridden what feels like forty-seven of them, you start to wonder if the escalators are the true exhibit, a kinetic sculpture of endless motion shuttling visitors through centuries. At the top of this electric pilgrimage, the small rooms appear. Collections of swords and spears line the walls, armor stands at attention, medals wink behind glass. The galleries are tight, almost modest compared to the vast foundation halls, but they hold their own charms. And then, without warning, you stumble on Japan: samurai armor lacquered like beetle shells, katana blades curved like crescents. No explanation, no apology, just another twist in the museum’s identity crisis. Step outside and the contradictions fall away. Toledo unfurls across the hills like a Renaissance painting, the Tagus River looping lazily below, rooftops glowing terracotta and gold. The view is not just terrific; it is the moment everything makes sense. Verdict: The Museo del Ejército is less about the Spanish Army than about the strange journey of history itself. First the Romans, then forty-seven escalators, then swords, samurai, and finally the view that conquers them.

Nestled in the heart of Toledo, the Iglesia de Santo Tomé is a stunning 14th-century Catholic church that beautifully showcases a blend of architectural styles, including Gothic, Baroque, and Moorish influences. This remarkable structure features an impressive Mudejar tower built from remnants of an ancient mosque's minaret. Visitors are often drawn to its interior for its striking design elements and two ornate Baroque altars.
The Iglesia de Santo Tomé in Toledo Spain is a tiny church home to the incredible El Greco masterpiece, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The painting alone makes it worth the visit! Be prepared to move very slowly in a line through a tight space with lots of people. They crowd is guided forward every few minutes. Tickets are required at the entrance, not expensive. This is a quick but memorable stop! Pictures and videos are allowed. Greco has become one of my top ten favorite artists after visiting Spain!

Perched on a hill surrounded by the River Tagus, Toledo is a city with a rich history as the seat of the Court of Charles and the ancient Visigothic capital.
If you're visiting Toledo, you absolutely must visit the Toledo Cathedral. This magnificent Gothic cathedral is a culmination of history and art, and its scale and beauty are overwhelming. The admission fee is typically around 10 euros per adult, but it is well worth the cost. Inside, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking sparkle of stained glass, intricate carvings, and a grand pipe organ. Particularly striking are the detailed retablo of the main altar and the carvings of the choir stalls. You can feel the craftsmanship and passion of the artisans embedded in every single decoration. Furthermore, the treasury houses numerous valuable artworks, including works by El Greco, which are worth taking your time to admire. Climbing the cathedral's bell tower offers a panoramic view of the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town and the stunning vista of the Alcázar in the distance. It is truly a symbol of the UNESCO World Heritage city of Toledo and a place where you can deeply feel the history of Three Cultures.

This Cathedral is a must when visiting Toledo. Do not let the outside deter you. It is magnificent inside. The architecture, the art, the grandness is astounding. Do not miss the Chapter House, the Sacristy and the crypt under the Altar. Definitely recommending purchasing timed tickets on line to skip the ticket queue. The visit is worth every euro spent.

This beautiful cathedral with its extraordinary interior has a unique atmosphere of high spirituality. The two main altars are extraordinary. The entire interior is a space of spirituality and time enclosed in unique architectural sculptures and compositions, as well as sculptural and painting works. The beauty here is very rich and justified. This space is definitely worth seeing.
Wawrzyniec R — Google review
Amazingly beautiful. It's quite large and multifaceted. There is no written guide available, including none for purchase. Once you buy the ticket to go inside, your only option is to use a lot of data to download their app. The app is useful as it gives English and other language information on various parts of the cathedral but other parts of it have no explanation.

This building is a beautiful structure, which took over 200 years to complete. It is the highlight of any tour to Toledo. The interior is astonishing with incredible architecture and amazing sculptures. The organs require the sanctuary of the chapels. All of these are elaborate, beautiful and richly decorated. There is a golden and silver shrine in the shape of a church spire holding the holy host, which is just amazing in its beauty and intricacy. The hole that was made in one of the domes to illuminate the back of the altar, enabling light into the chamber, where the host is prepared is mind-boggling. There is an entry fee, but it’s worth the price of admission as this is one of the top five cathedrals in the Christian world.

The Toledo Cathedral is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited. The architecture, paintings, and stained glass are incredible—every detail feels full of history and art. I especially loved the main altar and the peaceful atmosphere inside. The audio guide made it easy to explore at my own pace and learn interesting facts. A truly unforgettable experience in Toledo!
Lala — Google review
This is a must see if you go to Toledo. The Cathedral is astounding and magnificent. You have to buy a ticket in front the entrance, in a little shop. It's I'll made, as you present yourself to the first counter, just to be told, a little curtly, that the tickets are sold at the second counter. The first one being for buying trinkets. Plus the entrance is not the obvious one, the big steps that are first seen when you arrive on the plaza. It is on the right side of the Cathedral, and we learn this by walking all around the immense building. Take into account that you will need a good hour or more to really see all the nooks and cranies of the Cathedral, with all its beautiful art. Paintings, sculptures, bas-reliefs, gilded work, icons, stained glass, stonework, enluminures, etc... There are benches inside were you can pause, for people who need to rest.
Myamoto M — Google review
This cathedral was the highlight of our visit in Toledo. The classic entrance price is 12€ which is well worth it as I spent 45min inside. The stained glasses windows were beautiful, there are some very impressive statues. There were many people but the place is huge so it is not an issue.

Historical landmark
This Sephardic Museum in Toledo, Spain, tells the story of the Jews who lived in Spain until 1492. The museum has a collection of Jewish artifacts from all over the world, as well as historical information on Judaism in Spain.
Very cool medieval synagogue with many beautiful and interesting artifacts and relics. I really enjoyed learning about the Jewish history presented here.

Very beautiful building and an informative Sephardic museum. The synagogue was converted to a church when Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, it’s been a museum since 1910. There’s an upstairs women’s gallery that is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers.

The restoration and now preservation of the synagogue is very impressive. This synagogue records the Jewish heritage in Toledo. Recommended for its historical and beautiful architecture. The tour includes a beautiful garden to sit a reflect on the Jewish history.

Accidentally came across this museum during our day trip to Toledo when we were meant to be heading to Santa Maria la Blanca, but what a lucky accident! This was probably my favourite museum of my trip in Spain- the displays were so informative and we learnt loads! The architecture is also gorgeous of course! Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Toledo.

Museo de El Greco

Art museum
Museums
The Museo de El Greco, located in the historic Jewish Quarter of Toledo, beautifully showcases the artistic legacy of the master painter El Greco. The museum, established in 1911, features two buildings with a charming courtyard and garden that provide a tranquil setting for the displayed artworks. Visitors can explore not only El Greco's pieces but also 16th-17th century Spanish artworks.
Wandering through this museum felt like stepping into El Greco’s soul! The way his vibrant "Apostolate" and haunting "Tears of Saint Peter" leap off the canvas is unreal pure emotion frozen in time. Housed in a stunning 16th-century mansion, the place oozes history, with cozy courtyards and artifacts that make you feel like you’re peeking into Toledo’s past. Did you know El Greco wasn’t truly appreciated until the 19th century when French artists rediscovered his genius? Grab a ticket for just €3 (free for under 18s or on Saturdays after 2 PM and Sundays!). My advice: take your time strolling the Jewish Quarter to get here it’s half the charm. Don’t miss the nearby Santa Cruz Museum for more of El Greco’s brilliance!
Kevin A — Google review
I don’t know about El Greco until this visit. I watched the video introducing his paintings and career which was helpful to know him better. I love the garden more than his paintings to be honest. 😆
Fang H — Google review
As a Greek visiting Toledo for the first time it was simply impossible not to pay a visit at the magnificent Museo de El Greco, former house of painter Dominikos Theotokopoulos. The museum was beautifully and peacefully organized where each guest could both wander on their own or be a private of a private tour. Extremely clean and beautiful all around the rooms as well as the flower-filled gardens! Congratulations to the people attending it! Don’t miss it if you ever find yourself walking in the old capital of Spain, Toledo !

Very nice small museum with a 16th century renovated house opened in 1910 and an addition from 2011 with a good collection of El Greco paintings particularly his apostle series and the plan of Toledo. There’s information in a video about El Greco and the nobleman who funded the initial project.

Mirador del Valle is a stunning scenic overlook that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. Located on the Carretera de Circunvalacion, this lookout provides an unparalleled vantage point to admire Toledo's iconic landmarks, including the Alcazar, the Cathedral, and the historic walls.

Majestic City steeped in history. I only spent a little over an hour here on our and I already want to come back and spend a day or 2 exploring the many sites and quaint shops.
Lisa W — Google review
Mirador del Valle in Toledo is absolutely breathtaking. Perched across the Tagus River, it offers a panoramic view of the historic city that feels almost surreal, golden stone buildings, cathedral spires, and ancient walls glowing in the sunlight or sparkling in the evening lights. The view alone is worth the trip to Toledo. I visited with my best friend, and it was one of the most memorable moments of our time in Spain. Standing there together, overlooking the old city, we felt the quiet beauty and deep history radiating from every corner. It’s a perfect spot for reflection, conversation, and capturing unforgettable photos. There’s a peacefulness at Mirador del Valle that allows you to pause and take it all in: the past, the present, and the joy of shared experiences. The site is accessible by car, or a scenic walk if you’re up for it. I highly recommend timing your visit around sunset for the most magical lighting. Whether you’re traveling solo or with someone close, this viewpoint is a must-see. It’s not just about the view, but the feeling you get while looking at it. For us, it was pure wonder -- an unforgettable highlight of our trip.

The Mirador del Valle in Toledo, Spain, offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. During our family visit in January 2024, we were captivated by the stunning vistas of the historic city, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The viewpoint, easily accessible, served as an ideal starting point for our walk around Toledo. The history of the city was palpable, with its blend of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish influences evident in the architecture. We took numerous photos, each one capturing the unique charm of the city from different angles. The Mirador del Valle not only provided a scenic backdrop but also served as a gateway to immerse ourselves in Toledo's rich cultural heritage. Our experience was made all the more enjoyable by the well-maintained facilities and the friendly locals. The visit was a highlight of our trip, offering a profound appreciation for the historical significance and natural beauty of Toledo. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Mirador del Valle for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching experience.

Pavel R — Google review
(Translated by Google) A national monument since 1931, it is the oldest monastic complex preserved in the Iberian Peninsula. Since its construction, at the end of the 7th century or the beginning of the 8th century, the community of monks preserved the Christian cult. Since the last excavations, between 1970 and 1972, there is very little doubt that it is a cruciform Visigoth church from the 7th century. (Original) Monumento nacional desde 1931 es el conjunto monástico más antiguo que se conserva en la Península Ibérica. Desde su construcción, a finales del siglo VII o principios de siglo VIII, la comunidad de monjes conservó el culto cristiano. Desde las últimas excavaciones, entre 1970 y 1972, existen muy pocas dudas de que se trata de una iglesia visigoda cruciforme del siglo VII.
Moisés L — Google review
(Translated by Google) Very, very interesting. It's impressive to enter an eighth-century temple, with enormous stone ashlars. There's a castle nearby, but it's only open on weekends, and you have to call. Then, half an hour away, you have the Burujón ravines for a very beautiful walk. (Original) Muy pero que muy interesante. Impresiona entrar en un templo del siglo octavo, con unos sillares de piedra enormes. Hay un castillo cerca, pero solo abre los fines de semana, y hay que llamar. Luego, a media hora tienes las barrancas de Burujón para dar un paseo muy bonito.
Carlos O — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Hermitage of Santa María de Melque (actually, we would be looking at a church that was part of a monastic complex) is located in an open field, on a rural road that we take to our left, if we travel along the road that goes from Puebla de Montalban to San Martín de Montalbán... and in the vicinity of the latter town. The church, which is considered to be the best preserved from the Visigothic period in the Iberian Peninsula, is shaped like a Latin cross and built with formidable ashlars, which would have facilitated its use as a military fortification after the Muslim conquest... Later, after the definitive Christian conquest, it was dedicated to religious worship. (Original) La Ermita de Santa María de Melque (en realidad nos encontraríamos ante una iglesia que formaba parte de un complejo monástico), se encuentra en un descampado, en un camino rural que cojemos a nuestra izquierda, si circulamos por la carretera que va de Puebla de Montalban, a San Martín de Montalbán...Y en las cercanías de esta última población. La Iglesia, que pasa por ser la mejor conservada del período visigodo, en la Península Ibérica, tiene forma de cruz latina, y está construida con formidables sillares, lo que facilitaría su uso como fortificación militar tras la conquista musulmana...Volviendo con posterioridad y tras la definitiva conquista cristiana a dedicarse al culto religioso

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful step back in time, when the Visigoths ruled our land. It's art preserved to remind us of our history. This monastic complex is well worth a visit.

A treat for the senses. (Original) Una plaza encantadora. Hay un par de bares, una tienda de artesanía y la oficina de turismo, aparte del ayuntamiento y las viviendas.

(Translated by Google) A spectacular Baroque-style main square. Originally intended to serve as a bullring as well as the town's main square. It features beautiful hanging terraces that give it its distinctive character. The surrounding area retains its historic facades, making a stroll through it feel like stepping back in time. A visit to Tembleque and its main square is highly recommended. (Original) Espectacular plaza mayor de estilo barroco. Hecha en su época con la intención de ser plaza de toros además de plaza mayor. Tiene unas terrazas colgantes muy bonitas que le dan su distintivo. La zona alrededores mantienen toda su fachada histórica, lo que convierte el paseo en un viaje en el tiempo. Recomendable sin dudas pasar por Tembleque y su plaza mayor.

Skydiving experience was fun, but DO NOT OPT FOR THE VIDEO as the videos are not at all good. They do not show your face on the video and its only the instructor that you can see, all the 6 people who did jump with me had perfect videos but not mine. My instructor Ricardo did not do a great job, i feel the instructors are not experienced enough to take videos as they are still learning. when i speak in the office, all they say is thats how the videos are and gave a harsh response. Sent email to their office but no response. You can opt to do skydiving (if you are lucky to get a good instructor) but DONT CHOSE VIDEO package as it is a waste of money. They wouldnt even care to look into your concern as they know you are not local to Spain and wont impact their business

Very nice and friendly bunch of people. The instructors were super helpful and very informative. Could conserve very well in English.

Castillo de Consuegra

Mentioned on 
+6 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castillo de Consuegra is a 10th-century castle located on a ridge alongside windmills, offering guided tours and cultural events. Visitors can enjoy the fabulous views and explore the well-preserved town while making their way up to the castle. The experience includes friendly and informative tours, with English-speaking guides available. Due to COVID restrictions, it's recommended to book online in advance.
The castle, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, is a medieval fortress. It was originally used as a defensive stronghold by the Moors and later became part of the Kingdom of Castile. The castle has well-preserved ancient architectural features, and visitors can stroll along the towers and walls. The view from here is stunning, offering a panoramic sight of the town of Consuegra and the surrounding plains, along with the windmills on Cerro Calderico. There is an information desk, and with an entrance fee, visitors can explore the interior of the castle. With the same ticket, visitors can also visit other historic sites in Consuegra.
Seokjin H — Google review
The Castillo de Consuegra is an incredible place to visit! The views over the town and surrounding plains are absolutely breathtaking, especially with the famous windmills right next to it. The castle itself has been carefully restored and gives you a real sense of its long history, from its Moorish origins to later military uses. The tour is well-organized, with informative signs and guides that help you imagine what life was like here centuries ago. Walking the walls and exploring the towers was definitely a highlight. It’s also very family-friendly, and the combination of the windmills and the castle makes it feel like you’ve stepped back in time. If you’re traveling through La Mancha, this is a must-see stop—beautiful, historic, and unforgettable!

The Castillo de Consuegra is a fascinating place to explore! 🏰 Perched high on the hill next to the famous windmills, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the countryside, the town, and the iconic Molinos de Consuegra 😍. Walking through its towers and walls felt like stepping back in time, with well-preserved areas that bring its medieval history to life. The visit is easy to combine with the windmills, making it a must-see spot for history lovers and photographers alike. 📸🌟

We had a wonderful time exploring by ourselves, but would love to come back for a guided tour!! The gentleman who assisted us when we entered was so friendly and helpful, and it was wonderful to learn about some of the history of this region!

This is a really fantastic place. We took a slight detour on our way to Cordoba and it was well worth it. The windmills and castle are fabulous and the walk up was fun. There's great motorhome parking at the foot of the hill and you can either take the road or climb directly up the hill on the well trodden informal path. Great views and plenty of windmills to see. The town that you travel through on your way up is also interesting and unspoilt by development. Highly recommended.

Molinos de Viento de Consuegra

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Molinos de Viento de Consuegra is a collection of twelve charming whitewashed windmills dating back to the 19th century, originally used for grinding flour. Situated in La Mancha (Ruta de Don Quijote), this site offers incredible views and a picturesque setting that evokes the spirit of Don Quixote. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty and capture stunning photographs without the crowds, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful excursion.
These are 12 windmills built in the 16th century on Cerro Calderico. They evoke the windmills featured in Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote and are known as a symbol of the La Mancha region. Each windmill has a unique name, most of which are related to Don Quixote. The closest windmill to the town, named Bolero, has an information desk, and with an entrance fee, visitors can explore the interior of the windmill. With the same ticket, visitors can also visit Consuegra Castle and other historic sites in Consuegra. Please note that the windmill blades are just frameworks, so they do not turn even when the wind blows.

Must do trip from madrid!!! So worth it to drive there (about 1 hr), you only need an hour or two there to take photos and go up inside one of the mills. Amazing views, and you can walk/hike to see all of them or also go by car and stop at each of them. No regrets.

Visiting the Molinos de Viento de Consuegra felt like stepping into a storybook! 🌾 These iconic windmills, perched along the hilltop, are absolutely breathtaking — especially with the sprawling countryside stretching out in every direction 😍. Walking from one windmill to the next, we couldn’t help but imagine Don Quixote and his legendary adventures coming to life. The views from the top are spectacular, with the castle standing proudly nearby and the charming town of Consuegra below. It’s the perfect place for photography, a peaceful walk, and a moment to soak in the history and beauty of Spain. We went early in the morning, and it was quiet and serene, with just the sound of the breeze turning the sails. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling through Castilla-La Mancha — full of magic, history, and unforgettable scenery. 🌟📸

Such a fun place to stop and see this historic site in Spain. The windmills are much larger than they look in pictures and it's amazing to see them up close. You can pay a couple of Euros to go up and see the inside. I think it's worth it as it was very fascinating. There is a little movie they show you that explains how they worked.
Brandon Y — Google review
The windmills of Consuegra are located on a high ridge overlooking the plains of La Mancha. It is a very nice place to visit, offering a wide panorama of the Castilian countryside—a classic view of the region, often associated with the novel Don Quixote. The views from the hilltop are excellent and stretch clearly for miles, providing ample opportunity for good photographs. The site also features the Medieval Castle of Consuegra, which is located right next to the mills. The castle is an interesting structure to explore, offering solid insight into the area's history and strategic past. While it requires a drive, this destination is totally worth the trip. It combines significant history and appealing architecture with great natural views. If you are traveling through central Spain, we recommend making this a worthwhile stop on your itinerary.

Tablas Daimiel

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Tablas de Daimiel is a small national park and a haven for migratory birds, offering various ways to explore its beauty such as off-road vehicles, Segways, or on foot. Situated among the principal Spanish aquifer ecosystems, it is one of the largest national parks in Castilla-La Mancha. The marsh originated from the flooding of the Guadiana and Ciguela rivers and serves as a crucial migratory route for many bird species.
Peace, tranquility and surrounded by nature. That is how everyone should spend at least one day every few months! Las Tablas is free, a lovely walk while admiring, small birds, geese, ducks, etc. The trees are amazing! There is a boardwalk to get you over the wetlands safely and to get you as close as you can to admire the scenery. There is a big parking area, restrooms, visitors center, observation area, and plenty of benches along the walk to take a rest if you need too. A wheelchair can make it through with some help (through some dirt areas). This is a very nice National Park which has been under the government's protection for over 50 years. I totally recommend a visit.
Michelle M — Google review
Wonderful area for the migrating birds. We saw a Marsh Harrier, glossy Ibis , swallows, Flamingos red billed ducks, white Stork . The people who maintain this area are doing a great job.
Terry C — Google review
It so desperately needs more water to reestablish its glory. What little remains still holds a great compliment of birds, however the majority of the reed beds are now dry. The reserve is expertly maintained by a dedicated staff. But will it ever return to its former glory? Not with fields of new vines and olives planted sucking water from the water table. Nation help is needed to retain this Spanish treasure!
Derek E — Google review
Well worth visiting! It took me 42 years to finally stop by on one of my many crisscrossings of La Mancha! Plenty of water and all sorts of birds. It has a calming effect on visitors.
Paul M — Google review
We visited on a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon at 6pm. There were still 100's of families, couples and guided parties walking round the various routes. We were lucky though to have a guide who was able to explain quite alot in English. The levels of water have fallen due to the dry weather and this has pushed the wildlife further away from the walkways and viewing areas. I suggest you either take a pair of binoculars with you or go on a guided walk that provides them. I think the best time to visit if you want to see as much wildlife and in particular the birdlife is in the mornings and from Monday to Friday as the numbers of people visiting are significantly lower than at the weekends. There are toilets situated at the start of your journey so I would say if you need to go do it before you set off walking. There is also a small shop selling souvenirs as well as snacks, water and ice cream etc. Try to visit in April and May or even earlier as the water levels drop as the summer months approach. On the plus side if you have travelled in a campervan or you are towing a caravan, you can stay overnight in one of the grassed car parks. Remember to bring your own food as Daimiel is about 14km away.👍👍👍👍

Bird watching in an easy way. Almost flat and well prepared with walkways over the water takes you to the observation posts. From these wooden cabins it is worth to use long shot photography and telescopes to watch wild life upclose. Big cranes arrived early november this year in numbers. Ducks, storks, herons, cormorans...

At one end stands the impressive Town Hall, while at the other, visitors can admire beautiful fountains and a monument dedicated to Alfonso X El Sabio.

(Translated by Google) Located in the heart of Ciudad Real, in the shape of an elongated trapezoid, it has the Town Hall at one end and the fountains and the monument to Alfonso X El Sabio at the other.

There is paid underground parking.

Theaters
When visiting Almagro, a trip to the Corral de Comedias is a must. This historic theater dates back to the 17th century and is one of the oldest in the world, alongside its counterpart in Alcala de Henares. The open-air setting, with audiences seated on the ground floor and balconies, provides an authentic experience of classic Spanish theater. Guided tours are available for visitors interested in learning about the venue's rich history and cultural significance.
Came after 17 years to watch the play El burlador de la sardina, as part of the International Classical Theatre Festival directed by Ignacio García. The Corral de Comedias dates back to the XVII century and is, together with the one in Alcalá de Henares, the oldest in the world. These were the first theatres, contemporary of Shakespeare’s original Globe, where people would use the patios between houses to represent plays. If the plays were successful, lots of people came by horse, reason for which you still tell actors and actresses, directors and technical staff, when you’re about to do a play, the phrase “Mucha mierda.”

Classic spanish theater. Offers guided visits. It is an inner "patio" of old houses, where audience occupies the ground floor and the balconies in small wooden chairs. No roof, just covered with some awning to protect from sun (or cold days). Plays are also centuries old. An interesting experience.

Imagine Stratford on Avon, but with a lot broader repertoire to pull from. All of Miguel de Cervantes, all of the Golden Age of Spanish Comic Theater. Very thoughtfully presented. Very approachable. A must see.

Worth popping in if you are in the town. €2 with an audio guide - not that much to see but it is unique

A must if you are travelling to Almagro! It is super worty. For 7 euros, you get a theatre show, really funny with great actors, and an explanation about how the theatre culture was born in Almagro and about the history of the place. The visit takes around 1h.

A piece of theatre history and Castillian culture that was almost lost in the mists of time. Nice visit with audioguide included in the price. Unfortunately not adapted for persons with reduced mobility, I'm afraid.

The theater is from the 16th century and it is very interesting to see.

Ancient and emblematic place. Very well explained during the guided tour, and the historic events that took place during la reconquista. Very recommendable. I expect it will be supported with more resources to maintein and promote such a simbolic place.

You can feel history in places like this. Old convent and castle. The guided visit is a must. The views from the top of the castle are impressive. It was intended to protect the pass to the north from muslims in the south. The road to the castle is really bad. Sharp uneven rocks give an ancient look but also the feel. You can break something in your car. 15minutes for 2km up the hill. Take care.

Epic visit to this castle and one of the best of our 1,100 mile Spanish road trip. Liked the dramatic music they played as you entered which added to the atmosphere. Slightly more printed information than elsewhere. Amazing views and the drive their was fun.
