Tips from the Community

Andrés Escribano Abad
December 10, 2023, Historic Center of Hita

Hita is a beautiful medieval town with a lot of charm in any of its corners. It was the headquarters of the Mecnes Berber Muslims, one of their leaders even proclaimed himself Caliph of Spain, although he only lasted a week in office, the time it took for his enemies in Córdoba to get rid of him. It was later conquered by Alvar Fáñez de Minaya for El Cid. Among his most famous characters in Hita, we must highlight his famous Archpriest Juan Ruiz, with numerous writings. Phrases from his Book of Good Love are reproduced on some walls in the town.

A spectacular town, homeland of the famous Archpriest. Getting to it, however, will cost you, as it is perched on top of a hill.

At the foot of La Muela, next to the Henares River that dominates this landscape, is the small town of Alarilla. If you have good eyesight you can see the cross at the top.

Pedaling along the southern shore of the Alcorlo reservoir, you will reach the dam's viewpoint to have incredible views of the power of water. The reservoir is near San Andrés del Congosto.

Cogolludo is a small town on top of a hill with panoramic views of the terraces of Vega del Henares. You must visit the Renaissance Doge's Palace from the 15th century. The ornate ceilings are amazing.

10th century bridge over the Henares River created during the Caliphate of Guadalajara for the passage of trade to Zaragoza. Today the river landscape can provide you with shade and a place to rest on your journey.

This hilltop fortress can be seen from miles away. The Castillo de Hita sits on a steep cone-shaped geological hill that rises from the Alcarria.
