With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Pastrana, 20 miles away, has to offer. Parque Arqueológico de Recópolis, Pastrana Palacio Ducal and Museo Ciencias Naturales y Teresiano alone make the drive out worth it. Siguenza is another great option. It’s 30 miles away and has an array of awesome things to see and do. Siguenza Castle, Casa del Doncel and Cathedral of Siguenza are only the start.
