On this tour, we'll travel to Colmenar de Oreja and visit the main touristic sites of the town, founded by Ancient Romans more than 2, 000 years ago under the name "Aurelia". It's worth mentioning that on this town, there's the museum dedicated to the painter Ulpiano Checa, whose main pictures inspired the Ben-Hur movie chariot race and the principal Roman decorations. In Colmenar, we'll have a delicious tasting of local wines and cheese and a guided visit to one the oldest wineries in town that keep their wines ageing inside. It has a cave that holds a temperature of 15 degrees throughout the year. I used to have 2 wineries myself, so you can count on me giving you special input here. We will later move to Chinchón, which was declared one of the most beautiful villages of Spain by National Geographic Magazine. Its Main Square is a perfect example of the Castilian porticoed squares. Here we'll enjoy local food and classic Madrid dishes in a fantastic restaurant inside another wine cave.
I'll pick you up at a meeting point in Madrid and drive you to our destinations in a rented vehicle. In Colmenar de Oreja we'll see: -Main Square. A beautiful porticoed square. -Santa María la Mayor Church, a church built back in the XII century and rebuilt in the XVI century. -Ulpiano Checa Museum. -Casa de la Cadena, a palace from the XVII century. -Convento de la Encarnación.
