Guadalajara deserves it, we coincide with the story marathon, an event that takes place over three days in this same palace. We stopped by the tourist office and they told us about botargas, about an event prior to the carnival in which you can enjoy botargas from the entire province of Guadalajara.

The town of Romancos is the starting point for the beautiful trail La Vega and La Alcarria Romanqueña (PR-GU 10) in the shape of an 8. The trail runs around the outskirts of the town, passing through an area of varied vegetation. After the first section, the route continues through the Alcarria area, the highest and flattest part of the route. In the town we find an information panel about the route and its attractions, flora and fauna.

In the plain of the Arles river, between the Tagus and the Tajuña, the Villa Ducal de Pastrana welcomes us. Its multiple samples of artistic and cultural heritage have given it the title of Artistic Historical Site. Pastrana is enriched with figures and literary stories; Thus, its Carmelite convents were founded by Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross. Moratín later settled in the town for long periods of time and, closer to our days, Camilo José Cela immortalized it by portraying it in his Viaje a la Alcarria. The Plaza de la Hora is governed by the imposing Ducal Palace, in Renaissance style and with an abundance of Mannerist elements. Some wonderful coffered ceilings also designed by Alonso de Covarrubias, in Plateresque style, have been preserved. Likewise, the skirting boards of Toledo tiles in the Mudejar style stand out. It offers its visitors the opportunity to visit various museums and emblematic monuments of the town. DUCAL PALACE TAPESTRY MUSEUM SANTA TERESA V CENTENARY MUSEUM
