Medinaceli is a place that you should not miss on any bike tour in this region, because even if the climb up the city hill is a bit tedious - it's worth it! You will be greeted by an ancient Roman triumphal arch. It probably dates back to the 1st century and is the city's landmark. The Plaza Mayor is also considered one of the most beautiful squares in Old Castile and invites you to have a coffee under the arcades. The famous song about the Spanish national hero El Cid also mentions the place as an important border crossing for the knight on his journeys between Castile and Valencia. And from the castle hill you can enjoy a beautiful sunset over the vast plains of Castile in the evening.

It is definitely worth a visit. The main square, its narrow streets and the Roman triumphal arch are only some of its attractions.
