Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain Summary

Guadalajara, Spain Summary
Guadalajara photo

GUADALAJARA, north from Alcalá de Henares, is not terribly exciting despite its famous name. Severely battered during the Civil War, it’s now a small industrial city, provincial and scruffy. There are, however, a few worthwhile buildings which survived bombardment, notably the Palacio del Infantado (Tues-Sat 10.30am-2pm & 4.15-7pm, Sun 10.15am-2pm; €1.20) and an assortment of medieval churches. The palacio, the former home of the Duke of Mendoza, boasts a wonderful decorative facade and cloister-like patio (Mon-Fri 9am-9pm, Sat & Sun 10am-2pm & 4-8pm; free), and now houses a fairly average local art museum. It is to be found a few blocks to the northwest of the town’s large, park-like central square, Plaza Capitán Beixareu Rivera.
