We are going to visit 4 castles of medieval period in a day. These impressive
and amazing castles are different, two of them acted as residences for noblemen
and bishops, the others simply were built in the middle of nowhere.
To complement the experience, we shall have our lunch at the dining room
of one of the most formidable structures of medieval Spain: the Bishop's Castle
of Sigüenza, originally dating from the 12th century.
This tour is a surprise into the medieval period of Spain, just about an
hour's drive from Madrid city centre you will find yourself in another world
where time seems to be moving at a different pace and the landscape tends to
get wilder the further away we drive from Madrid.
