December 12, 2025, Puente Romano de Valdesotos

The Roman Bridge of Valdesotos, located near the hamlet of the same name in the Sierra Norte of Guadalajara, is actually of medieval origin, probably from the 12th century, with main use during the Middle Ages and converted as a passage to the Monastery of Bonaval.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, in Tamajón (Guadalajara), stands atop a small hill to the north of the town center, at an altitude of approximately 1,097 meters, within the Diocese of Sigüenza-Guadalajara. It was built in the 13th century in the Romanesque style, with significant renovations in the 16th century that introduced Renaissance influences. In the 12th century, the area belonged to the Common Lands of the Town and Territory of Atienza; in the 15th century, it passed to the Mendoza family.

Beautiful place with the charm of old churches, now abandoned but no less beautiful.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Tamajón, Guadalajara, is a beautiful example of 13th-century Romanesque architecture, with Renaissance reforms in the 16th century. Located on a small hill to the north of the town, this church stands out for its impressive façade and its rich history. The temple has a rectangular floor plan with three sections and three naves, with a flat chancel and a porticoed gallery on the south façade. Inside, you can admire mural paintings from different periods and Baroque and Gothic altarpieces that decorate the main altar and the side chapels.

Access bridge to the black town of Matallana over the Jarama River. Matallana is located on a mountain that it shares with two other small but very representative villages of black architecture: La Vereda and El Vado, the latter flooded by the swamp to which it gives its name and from which we can only enjoy its old and charming church. of Nuestra Señora de la Blanca, saved in extremis from flooding by damming thanks to its location on a hill.
