In Luzon the carnival is celebrated in a very unique way and stopping in the square to have a drink we were able to learn what the "Los Diablos y Mascaritas de Luzón" are. It is worth returning in February or seeing them at the Guadalajara bottargas concentration.

You can see the evaporation pools that remain from the salt mines that were already exploited in Roman times and whose exploitation lasted until 1994.

Extraordinary town, on the banks of the Tajuña River, full of history. From its Celtiberian Castros through its Roman Camps, to its Cuevas del Cid and its Muslim towers. Nearby is one of the most characteristic Dolmens of the plateau, the Portillo del Cortes Dolmen. There were also menhirs although with the concentration of land they disappeared. Its churches are also of extraordinary value. Its very welcoming people.
