Answer:
90 KM from Alicante
A Castle Weekend in La Mancha: Alarcón
© Marshall Carter-Tripp
Alarcón makes a fine excuse for another excursion - this is one of the most stunning settings of any Parador we’ve visited. From Madrid the N-III is the most direct route - you’ll pass castle ruins at Fuentedueña del Tajo, and at km 156, those of Castillo de Garcimuñoz, part of the fortifications erected by the lord of Alarcón. A few km further “old” N-III leads to the Parador. The name of the town comes from the Arabic for “The Fortress,” and the Parador is constructed within a small castle, originally Moorish, with many additions and improvements over the years, especially by the Marqués de Villena, after whom the Parador is named, an aristocrat who rebelled against the rule of Isabel la Católica. It is set on an escarpment surrounded by a deep S-shaped gorge of the river Júcar. Only 13 rooms are offered, with a splendid bar/lounge with huge fireplace and suits of armor, adjoining the high-ceilinged dining room. Views are spectacular and the food is excellent. The tiny town was founded by a son of 6th century Visigothic king Alaric (the source of its name according to some writers). It has a handful of interesting churches, some in ruins, and old houses with carved coats of arms. The whole is surround by the defensive walls, and off on the cliffs are watchtowers. Most delightful!
