The Monastery welcomes you at the top of the village with a stunning view from the road leading to Uclés. After a long bike ride, it is a good reward.

Built by the Order of Santiago, construction began in 1529 while Charles I reigned and was completed in 1735 under the reign of Philip V. Monumental construction that leaves no one indifferent, and that during the civil war was first a hospital for one side and later a prison for the other. You can visit it by paying an entrance fee and it is no longer used as a guest house because only one monk lives there, who possibly does not reside there at the time I write this chronicle.

This spectacular building built by the Order of Santiago is the end of the route or pilgrimage path that starts from the Church of Santiago in Madrid, and is usually done by numerous pilgrims both on foot and by bike.

Tarancón offers several places to visit, among them the following stand out: the Plaza de la Constitución, next to the town hall, the Malena arch, the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, the sculptures of Don Quixote, inside the palace of the Dukes of Riánsares, and within it the caves.

Whoever has not visited the monastery has no forgiveness from God, since we are before a colossal construction that due to its greatness and beauty could well be considered a true wonder. It's a pity that only a small part of the building that no longer houses any monks can be visited. Therefore, the hostelry that worked years ago, also stopped opening to the public.

Architectural ensemble of the town of Uclés. It was sponsored by the Order of Santiago between the 16th and 18th centuries. From Madrid starts a famous pilgrimage route called the Camino de Uclés, about 144km long and planned to be completed in 6 stages.

Tarancón is one of the last towns in the province of Cuenca which is located close to the capital of Spain. It is a city with a long history behind it and it shows in its streets, monuments and history of Roman heritage.

At the end of the Mesa de Ocaña is this town built on two hills that have resulted in two well-differentiated and segregated neighborhoods. One more humble with some cave-houses and another more ostentatious with stately homes and most of the monuments. It is a quiet town but where you can make a complete refreshment stop.
