With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Pastrana, 18 miles away, has to offer. Parque Arqueológico de Recópolis, Pastrana Palacio Ducal and Museo Ciencias Naturales y Teresiano alone make the drive out worthwhile. Situated 30 miles away, Cuenca is another popular option. If you stop by, don’t miss Hanging Houses of Cuenca, Cuenca Cathedral and Museum of Spanish Abstract Art.
