Barcience Castle is a medieval fortress located in the municipality of Barcience, in the province of Toledo. It stands on a hill that dominates the surroundings, offering a strategic view of the surrounding landscape.

This service bridge for farmers allows you to see the reeds that grow in the riverbed and the landscape of the riverside vegetation that grows green in the middle of the fields of La Mancha.

Torrijos gives its name to its region in the plain between the Tajo and Alberche rivers. It is the natural center of trade in goods and services in this area of Toledo. With its population of almost 13,000 inhabitants, it has all the services of a small city and has direct communications by train and bus with the main cities of Toledo and Extremadura. Its monuments, such as the palace of Peter I or its collegiate church, testify to its historical importance since the Middle Ages.

Although the town of Caudilla is uninhabited, the ruins of the church remain there and even more striking are those of the Rivadeneyra castle, which was built in the 15th century and which curiously, after centuries of wars and attacks of the climate, is still standing. the figure of Christ at the top of its tower that makes it a very curious and striking place for many, especially for photography lovers looking for their best shot at night under a starry sky.

Rielves is a transit point for the Caminos de Santiago del Levante, on its way between Toledo and Ávila, the path being perfectly signposted.

We can tour its large courtyard, and the almost square plan that it presents, indicating by its size and the time in which it was erected, that it served as a residence rather than a defensive fort. Two interesting cubes are indications of the barrier and the moat that protected the entrance door to the enclosure, and of which there are no remains. Three towers, two circular, another square, and the homage, make up the rest of the enclosure. Juan de Silva, the first Count of Cifuentes, began the construction of the fortress in the 14th century, which would be completed by his grandson, with the same name. It was endowed with artillery and garrison in the 16th century.

The hermitage of Cristo de la Misericordia and the parish church of Santa María Magdalena stand out. A curiosity is that this town is still buried under the rubble of the real estate boom. In the 2000s, it was intended to turn it into a new "dormitory city" for Madrid and the town went from having 500 to 2,000 homes, many of which were never lived in, or even finished building. The town went through a hard stage after the real estate crisis that still lasts today.

Torrijos has an enormous architectural heritage, among which it is worth highlighting the train station, the parish church (with a very old organ and elements brought from Medina Azahara), the palace of Pedro I or even its more contemporary Center for the Elderly.
