Tour Spain Interior Tunnels and Fortresses from Madrid

Pick up in Madrid.

We begin our adventure by entering the underground of Brihuega, where a maze of more than 8 kilometers of Arab tunnels dug by hand between the 10th and 11th centuries extends. These galleries served as a refuge during wartime and as spaces to store wine and oil thanks to their constant temperature of 12 oC. Free time for lunch in Brihuega After the visit, you will enjoy free time for lunch. We will recommend some of the best restaurants in the area to taste local cuisine (lunch not included). Brihuega Tour After lunch we will make a brief but complete visit to the picturesque village of Brihuega, known as the “capital of the Alcarria”. In just 30 minutes we will know its main attractions, where Romanesque, Gothic and Mudéjar styles converge that testify to its architectural richness.

Lavender Fields (in season) During the flowering months, we will include a stop in the stunning lavender fields surrounding Brihuega. This violet sea offers a unique landscape, ideal for enjoying the natural environment and taking unforgettable photographs.

Route of the Medieval Castles: Jadraque and Torija We will continue the route with the outside visit of the Castillo del Cid in Jadraque, a fortress of the fifteenth century built on a strategic hill that dominates the valley of Henares. Next, we will go to Torija Castle, declared a Cultural Interest. This 15th century castle has been restored and currently houses the Tourist Interpretation Center of the province of Guadalajara.

Visit to Civica To close the day, we will stop in Civica, a village practically sculpted in rock by the Tajuña River. This unique enclave, with its caves, springs and semi-troglodyte constructions, seems straight out of a tale. To walk through this little-known place is to discover a magical and almost secret corner of the region.

Return: After a fascinating journey between tunnels, fortresses and natural landscapes, we will return to Madrid, arriving in the late afternoon with the feeling of having travelled back in time.
