モラルサルサルの洞窟・トップ8

Beautiful place full of history.

Manzanares el Real Castle, also known as Mendoza Castle: Built in 1475 by order of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, 1st Duke of the Infantado, on the site of a former Romanesque-Mudéjar church. Its architecture is Isabelline Gothic, with a square floor plan, cylindrical towers, and an octagonal keep. It served as the palatial residence of the powerful Mendoza family, who even established a literary court there. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1949. Today it houses a Medieval Interpretation Center, with exhibits of tapestries, armor, furniture, and audiovisual presentations about life in the Middle Ages.

It is a key point when you go on a route to show the area to other cyclists

Good short walk of about 6 km leaving from the shopping center

Easy access from Las Marias, if you go up from the clean point it is a little harder, but it is possible in normal physical condition. Good views

Beautiful path parallel to the road and under the Castle of Manzanares el Real

For winter riding, when it rains, the ground drains very well and hardly any mud forms.

Sorry, Hoyo de Manzanares does not have a castle. The one in the photo is from Manzanares del Real (https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev1&sca_esv=80d0c53c31f1ba3c&sxsrf=ADLYWILBECwncbTPE24Xvs3ZgdODX67-UQ%3A1725895267071&q=Castillo%20de%20Manzanares%20el%20Real&ludocid=10992122181432748937&lsig=AB86z5W-mAy7Ta8haKMgOCK5wuRi&shndl=30&shem=lsde%2Cvslcea&source=sh%2Fx%2Floc%2Fact%2Fm4%2F2)
