To the northeast of the province of Guadalajara is found (and not in Galicia or Asturias, as one might think if one tries to guess) what is considered to be the coldest inhabited place in Spain. Is about mill of aragon, with minimums of 3 degrees and a half below zero throughout the winter months, in addition to snowfall and frost that usually cover its historic complex in white. Perfect for those who have spent the summer releasing toads and snakes against the heat and waiting for the steam to return in the morning.
Capital of the old Lordship of Molina, one of the most important of the Castilian Middle Ages, the town of Molina de Aragón It still preserves its urban layout and medieval neighborhoods enclosed by some imposing walls. In fact, it can not only boast of low temperatures because its old town has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
Molina de Aragón is one of the key points of the Camino del Cid and one of those that is worth stopping and spending the day. It is also the access to the Alto Tajo Natural Park and from this town you can start of numerous scenic routes.
As far as his story is concerned, he was Frontier stronghold throughout the Late Middle Ages and from that time it has a castle (12th-13th centuries) with a double enclosure. The exterior is defended by numerous square towers, as well as the pentagonal Torre de Aragón and the walls that surrounded the medieval town.
However, among most notable buildings there are also the churches of San Martín, Romanesque (12th-13th centuries); of Santa María la Mayor de San Gil (15th-17th centuries); the convent of San Francisco (18th century), built on the old church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, with a Renaissance tower (18th century) and a neoclassical façade (1816); and the convent of Santa Clara, Romanesque-Gothic (1284).
If you are visiting, you cannot miss other places of interest such as the Romanesque bridge over the Gallo river, the numerous stately palaces from the 16th-18th centuries or the Jewish and Morería neighborhoods. Molina de Aragón will be small but, of course, a thug.
