The best traffic-free bike rides around Arévalo

Arévalo Castle, located in the town of Arévalo (province of Ávila, Castile and León), is one of the most representative examples of Castilian Mudéjar architecture. Its origins date back to the 14th century, although it was built upon earlier fortifications. It was expanded between the 15th and 16th centuries, especially during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs. It played an important role as a noble and military castle, but also as an administrative building. In the 20th century, it fell into near ruin until its restoration, beginning in 1952, by the Ministry of Agriculture, which uses it as the headquarters of a research center.
