Description

Get ready for an unforgettable journey through the history, culture and nature of Spain! We have designed a genuine experience, touring some of the magical cities and villas of the ancient kingdoms, where each step will lead you to a new discovery.

We start in Viso del Marqués, in the Sierra Morena region, known both for its history linked to the Bazán family  and for its mention in "Don Quixote". You will stay in a charming rural accommodation, perfect for disconnecting and enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings. After a well-deserved rest and a delicious dinner with the typical flavors of the region, you will embark on a journey through time.

The Palace of the Marquis of Santa Cruz will impress you with its Renaissance architecture and Mannerist frescoes. Next, you will walk through the Historic-Artistic Complex of the Plaza del Pradillo, with its deer fountain and its historic buildings. You can't miss the hiking route 'El Peñón de la Ventanilla', a walk that will allow you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.

Our tour continues to the heart of La Mancha: Campo de Criptana. This place, known as "Land of Giants", invites you to walk among its historic mills, transporting you to the time of Cervantes and his ingenious gentleman, Don Quixote. Then, you'll explore the picturesque Albaicín Criptano neighborhood, with its steep streets and bright white whitewashed houses. The visit culminates in the Molino Museo de Sara Montiel, dedicated to one of Spain's most beloved artists.

The next stop is Yepes, a town in La Mancha that preserves the elegance of the historic towns of Toledo. Here you will discover the majestic Collegiate Church of San Benito Abad, the "Cathedral of La Mancha", and you will walk through its walled enclosure, transporting you to the past. In addition, you will enjoy a visit to a local winery, where you will learn about wine production and taste some of the best wines in the region.

The journey will then take you to Loeches, a town with an impressive architectural heritage, such as the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and the Palace of the Dukes of Alba. The delicious artisanal jams made by the Carmelite sisters will be a delicacy not to be missed. Then, you will continue to Escalona, with its imposing castle and its walled historic center, the scene of "El Lazarillo de Tormes".

We head to Mombeltrán, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos, with its 15th-century Renaissance castle and its Gothic church of San Juan Bautista. You will enjoy a tour of its old town, full of stone fountains, irregular streets and emblazoned houses. Piedralaves will be your next destination, where the Parish Church of San Antonio and the natural landscapes, such as the Cruz de los Enamorados and the hiking trails, will take your breath away.

Further on, in La Adrada, you will explore its impressive medieval castle and the Tiétar Valley Historical Interpretation Centre. Finally, in El Tiemblo, you will visit the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and the enigmatic Toros de Guisando, pre-Roman sculptures that keep the secrets of the ancient Vetons.

The trip culminates in Madrigal de las Altas Torres, birthplace of Isabella the Catholic. You will visit the Palace of Don Juan II, the Church of San Nicolás de Bari and the walled enclosure that surrounds the town. To close with a flourish, we will take you to the Bodega de los Frailes, where you will toast to a journey full of history, culture, flavors and unforgettable landscapes.

This trip will allow you to discover the essence of Spain, where every place tells a story and every corner offers a unique experience. Get ready for an adventure that will be etched in your memory forever!
