Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón

Yesterday we went on an excursion and we went to Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón, which contains a medieval layout and has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site. It belongs to the province of Albacete within the community of Castilla - La Mancha.

The highlight is the castle-fortress that dominates the landscape from the hill of San Blas. Due to its strategic position, the castle had Iberian, Roman and also Arab bases. The current building dates from the 15th century and remains, after numerous reforms, as it is currently seen, although access to its interior is prohibited.

Of special interest are the caves at the foot of the wall framed by white chimneys that divide the outer space while the interior is carved out of the rock. Cool houses to combat the extreme temperatures of the La Mancha plain and which, currently, are still mostly inhabited and are second homes for their owners.

The next stop was in Alcaraz, also with a main square that stands out for the two adjoining Renaissance towers, the church tower and the Tardón tower, and the number of slopes and stairs to go up and down (in case I didn't have enough when I went to Cinque Terre lol).

SACRED MONASTERY AND CASTLE OF CALATRAVA LA NEW

Yesterday I was visiting this magnificent site located in the province of Ciudad Real. It is one of those unknown gems that are scattered throughout our country and that are not as famous as others but that keep a lot of history among their stones and that are worth a visit.

Former Templar fortress of the Order of Calatrava, intended to stop the advance of the Arabs during the Reconquest and which, later, during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, became a Monastery. In its decline it was a victim of the great Lisbon earthquake in 1755 because the aftershocks reached here.

Currently, after a series of restoration and consolidation campaigns, it has an interesting tour explaining what life was like in a castle-fortress.

Accompanied by good footwear and the courage to climb slopes, you will be surprised.

Here and here you have more information.
