Beautiful and very picturesque town located in the south of the Community of Madrid, a few km from the border with Castilla La Mancha. Among its beautiful buildings, the Plaza Mayor stands out, which was declared a heritage site in 1974. It is a place where you can have a good time walking its streets and having a drink in the bars of the square.

Hiking

As an inhabitant, Chinchón is a charming town that is visited by many tourists during the weekends. On sunny days it is practically impossible to find a place on the terraces that surround the Plaza Mayor. But during the weekdays and especially in winter it seems like a ghost town that finally belongs to its inhabitants. Thanks to this, the hospitality industry can survive.
The patron saint festivals are in August (12-16).
