Brihuega, Medieval municipality in Guadalajara Province, Spain
Brihuega is a municipality in Guadalajara Province within the La Alcarria region, sitting on elevated terrain at around 900 meters. The town displays traditional stone architecture arranged along narrow streets that follow the typical medieval layout.
The Battle of Brihuega in 1710 was a crucial moment during the War of Spanish Succession, when Franco-Spanish forces defeated British troops in the area. This victory helped reshape the region's political future.
The town has deep roots in lavender farming, with purple fields surrounding the area and local traditions tied to this crop. Visitors can experience this connection through the landscape and seasonal celebrations that honor the flowers.
The elevated location means walking involves some slopes, so sturdy footwear helps when exploring the streets. Local services and public transportation connect the town to nearby areas, making it accessible for visitors interested in the region.
Beneath the streets lies a network of Arab caves, evidence of medieval Islamic settlement in the area. These underground spaces tell a lesser-known chapter of the region's past.
