Chinchón, Medieval town in Madrid Region, Spain
The Plaza Mayor features 234 wooden balconies surrounding a central square that transforms into an arena during festivals and bullfighting events.
The Castle of the Counts, constructed in the late 15th century, underwent reconstruction after its destruction during the 1520 Comuneros Revolt.
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption displays a painting by Francisco de Goya, commissioned by his brother who served as chaplain.
Visitors can reach Chinchón from Madrid via a 45-minute drive on the A-3 highway or by regular bus service from Conde de Casal.
The town produces anise liqueur through traditional methods, celebrating this heritage during the annual Wine and Anisette Festival in April.
