This castle, privately owned by the Duchy of Arion, is not open to the public and cannot be visited inside, although it is probably worth it since it has the peculiarity of having been continuously inhabited for centuries. The most we can do is surround it or observe it from the opposite bank of the river, which gives it an unusual atmosphere in the medieval architecture of the Iberian Peninsula.

Still on the arid plateau but close to the exuberant Vega del Tajo is this town, proud to be the birthplace of the author Fernando de Rojas, to whom the Celestina Museum is dedicated. It is worth, at least, going through its main square.

Built by the Arabs in the 10th century as part of a set of defensive fortifications and later converted into a residential palace, the Malpica castle is one of the few in Spain that is located on the banks of a river, and in this case nothing less than the Tagus. Unfortunately it is private property and you cannot enter it, but it is nonetheless an attractive building that stands out when you cross the bridge to enter the town from where you will have the best views of it.
