Inland
Looking to find out more about inland Spain and enjoy the peace and quiet of small villages home to typical houses and packed with history? If you were to choose Castilla-La Mancha, for example, you could visit Pastrana (Guadalajara), a Ducal village that will surprise you on account of its beauty, its Carmelite convents and its literary tradition, with Camilo José Cela, a Literature Nobel Prize winner, portrayed the village in “Journey to the Alcarria”.Or in Castile and Leon, one option would be the unique village of La Alberca (Salamanca), home to its renowned wooden and stone houses nestled in a labyrinth of narrow streets. Be sure to take a snapshot in its stunning Plaza Mayor square with its flower-adorned balconies and do not miss out on the opportunity to take in the landscapes of the Batuecas-Sierra de Francia Nature Reserve.
