    Tips

    Hita is a beautiful medieval town with a lot of charm in any of its corners.
    It was the headquarters of the Mecnes Berber Muslims, one of their leaders even proclaimed himself Caliph of Spain, although he only lasted a week in office, the time it took for his enemies in Córdoba to get rid of him.

    It was later conquered by Alvar Fáñez de Minaya for El Cid.

    Among his most famous characters in Hita, we must highlight his famous Archpriest Juan Ruiz, with numerous writings. Phrases from his Book of Good Love are reproduced on some walls in the town.
