If you have a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 30 miles, take a look at Pastrana. This happening destination offers up lots of things to see and do. Among the first stops you make here should be Parque Arqueológico de Recópolis, Pastrana Palacio Ducal and Museo Ciencias Naturales y Teresiano. The locals will also probably point you toward Alarcon, 45 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Castillo de Alarcon. (But we’re also huge fans of Sendero Hoz de Alarcon and Santa Maria Church.)
