Orgaz
Orgaz is a monumental historical town, tucked away on the north plains of the Sierra de Los Yébenes, a mountain area in the province of Toledo, just 33km away from the city of Toledo. Its fascinating town, declared a Historical Artistic Site, is ruled from above by the needles of the towers of the Parochial Church of Saint Thomas and the merlons of its Castle. Orgaz is surprising due to its unique popular architecture: an urban area full of whitewashed houses and sculpted coats of arms on their façades, and some interesting monuments which await you.
