Pastrana, Medieval municipality in Guadalajara Province, Spain

The streets of Pastrana follow a medieval layout with stone buildings, narrow passages, and a central square surrounded by historical structures at 759 meters elevation.

During the 16th century, Pastrana developed into a textile manufacturing center under the patronage of the Princess of Eboli, who resided in the ducal palace.

The Ducal Palace houses a collection of Flemish tapestries depicting military campaigns, while local artisans maintain traditional silk weaving techniques.

The municipality connects to Madrid through regular bus services and the A2 highway, with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes by road.

The underground water storage system beneath Pastrana includes a network of medieval cisterns that supplied water to residents through the centuries.
