Explore the surroundings in Guadalupe
Guadalupe is a beautiful town that nestles in the heart of the Geopark of Villuercas-Ibores-Jara, in Extremadura, one of the most unique landscapes in the region. The best way to get to know it is by losing yourself in the cobbled streets and discovering the traditional buildings, such as the Royal Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, a monumental Gothic-Mudejar sanctuary declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While you’re here, you shouldn’t miss the Plaza de Santa María and the old Jewish quarter, or the local museums, which contain works by Goya, El Greco, Pedro de Mena and Juan de Flandes. Everything forms part of a unique setting that will take you back to another age.
Guadalupe is surrounded by a unique landscape that brings together culture and nature. Nearby you’ll find beautiful routes such the Isabel la Católica Trail, which follows the footsteps of the famous queen, impressive buildings such as the Hermitage of El Humilladero and the Arca del Agua, and charming mountain villages such as Cañamero, Logrosán and Berzocana. And if you’re looking for a different kind of experience, the Parador offers exclusive Starlight activities for stargazing.

Explore the surroundings in Almagro
The town of Almagro was declared a Historical-Artistic Site in 1972 for its exceptional beauty and rich heritage. The best way to explore Almagro is to lose yourself in its narrow streets and discover the emblematic 17th c. Corral de Comedias, where plays by Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina were premiered. A good time to visit it is in July during the International Festival of Classical Theatre, when you can enjoy all its magic. A walk through the streets of Almagro immerses you in history: the Plaza Mayor, with its green glazed balconies and long arcades with stone columns, or buildings such as the church of San Agustín, the Palacio Fúcares and the Convent of La Asunción de Calatrava.
Almagro also means nature. The National Park of Las Tablas de Daimiel is just a few kilometres away: a wetland teeming with life that you can visit by foot or on an electric bike. A little further away is the National Park of Cabañeros, the Nature Park of Lagunas de Ruidera, and the Cerro Gordo volcano. Looking for a different experience?
