After more than a year of pandemic, we all need to say goodbye to routine and make a getaway. In Spain there are beautiful medieval towns to visit this summer, in which it seems that time has not passed. Below we have selected the most interesting ones in different parts of the geography.Buitrago de Lozoya, MadridBuitrago de Lozoya is for many the most beautiful town in the Community of Madrid, and as soon as you discover it you will understand why. Located in the Sierra Norte, it is a medieval town that maintains its traditional mountain character. There are many monuments that are well worth a visit, such as the Castillo de los Mendoza or the Church of Santa María del Castillo.Besalú, GeronaBesalú can boast of being one of the most beautiful and best preserved medieval towns in all of Spain. The Besalú Bridge is its main emblem, built in the 12th century to cross the River Fluvia. The visit to the old Jewish Quarter is very interesting, and you can access the Mikvé, the only baths from medieval times that remain in our country, and one of the few in Europe.Olite, NavarraOlite was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Navarre, and the Royal Palace of the Kings of Navarra, better known as Castillo de Olite, is the most important monument. Its origin dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, and from the Torre de Atalaya there are impressive views of the town. We also recommend visiting the Church of San Pedro and the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.Sepúlveda, Segovia In the province of Segovia is Sepúlveda, one of the most visited towns in Castilla y León. The Church of the Savior is a temple from the late 11th century, and is one of the main places of interest.The ideal way to get to know the town in all its splendor is to forget the map and lose yourself in the narrow cobbled streets of the historic center: Castellar de la Frontera, Cádiz, and finally, Castellar de la Frontera, in the province of Cádiz. Castellar Viejo is the area of greatest interest, where there is a 13th century fortress castle, cataloged as a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1963. Right next to it is the Alcázar de los Condes del Castellar. These are the medieval towns of Spain that we recommend you visit this summer. All of them are great to disconnect and relax.
