Alarcón sits on a rocky hill, almost completely encircled by a loop of the Júcar River. In the 8th century, an Arab fortress was built on the promontory above the river, making it a strategic defensive position.
Our hike will take us thrugh the most amazing landscapes of the region, with mesmerizing views and the joy of discovering new places!
A Journey Through Time
Entering the village of Alarcón feels like stepping back through the centuries. The narrow strip of land between two bends of the river, just wide enough for the road, leads you through a series of medieval gateways into the heart of the town.
Historical and Artistic Significance
Alarcón has been awarded artistic-historic status due to its dramatic location on a rocky cliff above a bend of the Júcar River, combined with the town’s historic charm and significant architectural heritage.
