Maqueda

Maqueda has an impressive castle — the Castillo de la Vela, with well-preserved walls and towers visible from the approach. The castle dates from the 15th century and was a stronghold of the Lords of Maqueda. The town retains fragments of its medieval walls and has a pleasant, unhurried atmosphere.

Basic services are available. Maqueda sits at a crossroads and has been a waypoint on routes between Toledo and Ávila for centuries.
