Get ready for an unforgettable journey through Castilla-La Mancha, a land where history, nature and culture intertwine to create a unique experience. From the rural heart of Valdeganga to the ancient walls of Molina de Aragón, every corner of this route tells its own story, weaving a tapestry of adventures that will remain etched in the memory.

The journey begins in Valdeganga, a small and charming village located on the banks of the Júcar River, whose banks offer postcard-perfect landscapes. Upon arrival at your cozy rural accommodation, you will feel the stress dissipate as you prepare to enjoy a traditional dinner at a local restaurant, a delight that will allow you to savor the essence of the region.

Valdeganga reveals its secrets through a small but enriching hiking trail that will take you to the Cueva de los Moros, a natural viewpoint with breathtaking views of the Júcar valley. After this contact with nature, the walk continues through the Plaza Mayor and the Church of the Immaculate Conception, jewels of local heritage that reflect centuries of history.

The journey advances towards Belmonte, a magical town that seems to be taken from a medieval tale. Its imposing castle dominates the skyline, while the Collegiate Church of San Bartolomé transports you to remote times with its majestic architecture. Here, history feels alive in every stone and envelops you in an atmosphere of timeless grandeur.

As the tour continues, you will enter the town of Brihuega, a place full of walls, castles and cobbled streets that narrate the past centuries. You will visit the imposing Castle and the charming Church of San Felipe, a testimony of the transition between Romanesque and Gothic, and you will get lost in the history kept by the Brihuega Museum.

Nature and tranquillity come with Arbancón, a village in the middle of nature where you can enjoy hiking or simply stroll through its forests, especially beautiful in autumn. Its squares, fountains and hermitages invite you to stop and reflect, enjoying the calm that only small villages can offer.

The next destination, Beteta, will surprise you with its Rochafrida Castle, perched on a rock that seems sculpted by time. Its church and the Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo viewpoint, in honour of Velázquez's disciple, complete a cultural journey full of artistic and scenic richness.

Finally, you will arrive in Molina de Aragón, a place where the medieval past is preserved intact. You will walk through its streets as if you were stepping back in time, discovering the majestic Torre de Aragón and the impressive Castillo de Molina, the second largest in Spain.
