Top Things to do in Castile-La Mancha
Top 10 Historic Sites 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.

Perhaps my favorite single structure in the city, competing with the other gates and bridges associated with the concentric walls and the cobblestone roads of the old city. Well light every night and situated as a lookout toward the North of the city with a view of the Tagus river and the humble city sector formerly know for pottery and the city access to the Tagus river bed.

It may be at the end of a road to nowhere but it's worth going there. Delightfully well preserved medieval town with beautiful plazas, town hall, imposing buildings (not just the Hanging Houses which it's most famous for) and a Gothic style (just the front bit) Cathedral which is huge as it was build on what originally was a Mosque. All of these are a must see but apart from the obvious history the town had become famous for Art. There are a number of art galleries and museums. The largest is the Fundacion Antionio Peraz, based in an old convent over 4 floors it's heaving with contemporary art works. I'll leave it up to you to decided which bits you'll like but guaranteed it will be a talking point. Also worth a visit is the most famous hanging house which is the Museo de Arte Abstracto. You really need a couple of days here to see everything.

In the third century BC, one of the most important and claimed events in the history of Elche de la Sierra occurred: during the colonizing struggles that the Carthaginians waged against the Bastetanos (indigenous peoples), Amílcar Barca, general-chief of the Carthaginians, in Hélice (Elche de la Sierra), Spain, drowned in a river. So say authors like Polibio.
