Top Things to do in Castile-La Mancha
Top 10 Castles in Castile-La Mancha, Castile-La Mancha
Castile-La Mancha, a Spanish land of craggy cliffs, golden fields and red soil, produces savory Manchego cheese, olives, saffron and more than its share of mystery. Chase the enduring legend of Don Quixote among the windmills of Campo de Criptana. Pass through the Bisagra Gate to experience the walled city of Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage site that pays stylistic tribute to the Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures. In Guadalajara, palaces and Baroque churches capture the imagination.

The Palacio del Infantado is easily reachable with the C2 from Madrid and is on the same line as the UNESCO university town of Alcala. However, you need to either walk 20 minutes plus into town or find a bus since there where no taxis at the train station when I arrived. The palace and Guadalajara make a great half day trip since the architecture is so unusual and the churches and the city has a fascinating history which has clear Moor influences.

Truly in the middle of nowhere, this castle has taken years to renovate. Opening hours are erratic, so if you really must go in, check carefully before you go. Beautiful restoration and as a bonus, there are windmills right by it too.

Great little stop. We just parked and walked around the castle and then took the trails on both sides of the castle to see the windmills. The fog setting on the windmills were kind of magical.

We really enjoyed visiting this castle, still very intact and well worth a look. A pamphlet giving us more info would have been helpful as there were limited plaques on the walls in both Spanish and English but with very little information. Would have been interested in more details into the ruins they found for the bell forging and the castles history.
