15th-16th Century Castle Opening Hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Closed Monday and Tuesday. This Gothic-Renaissance castle-palace, associated with the Mendoza family, has a pentagonal floor plan. At its corners rise towers of varying shapes and sizes; three stand out: the western tower, circular; the southern tower, rectangular; and the eastern tower, octagonal on the exterior and hexagonal on the interior. All are connected by a wall-walk. The towers and walls are crowned with striking crenellations. It has two gates, the main gate and a false gate, both with pointed arches and defended by machicolations. Inside, the Renaissance arcaded courtyard is particularly noteworthy, featuring a double gallery and beautiful Plateresque plasterwork decoration on the upper level. A passageway in the western wall once connected the castle to the church.

Impressive building that houses a monastery and church of the Benedictine order in the town of Santa María de Huerta next to the Jalón river.

The Monastery and the population in general, is located in the Soriana region of Terra de Medinaceli, in the south-west of the province, on the border with the province of Zaragoza. Beautiful to see from outside and inside.

The castle of Monreal de Ariza was built by order of the Aragonese king Alfonso I, the fighter, to defend his border from Muslim and Castilian attacks. Today in ruins, the vision of this fortress must have commanded a lot of respect among those who wanted to take it.

Cistercian monastery of the s. XII-XVI within the Camino del Cid in its Tierras de Frontera slope that connects Guadalajara with Calatayud. Space that has a guided tour, which must be given at the end of the will (accepts bizum). The bike is left inside the enclosure, so there is no problem of it being stolen. The space is perfectly preserved, and has unique places such as the refectory inside the wall opening onto the room with a pointed arcade on pilasters. We can even appreciate how in the cloister, there is a union of Gothic and Plateresque art to delight the visitor with Mudejar, Flamboyant Gothic or Lombard Gothic decorative components.

It is not the first nor the last of the many sections of crops that we had to cross. In summer, badly, in winter totally inadvisable (it will be a quagmire). So I advise looking for an alternative by tracks or even secondary roads that allow us to connect Santa María ReEal with Monteagudo de las Vicarías. This section of the GR, in addition to not having any charm, is heavy even when walking (not to say that the owner of the crops is not very funny even though we are within our rights)

It is worth the visit

Even the Romans appreciated the healing waters of this region. The thermal lake in Alhama de Aragon is unique in all of Spain. In 34° warm, crystal-clear water you can relax your tired bones here after a strenuous bike tour.
