We spent some time visiting the city of Almagro in Spain’s Castile-La Mancha region. We explored its narrow cobblestone streets, the town’s rich history and charm unfolded before us.
Known for its beautifully preserved medieval architecture, Almagro felt like a hidden gem.
In the heart of the town, Plaza Mayor, with its green-painted wooden galleries, was especially captivating.
The Corral de Comedias de Almagro, located at the heart of Plaza Mayor in Almagro, is one of Spain’s most remarkable and well-preserved examples of 17th-century theatrical architecture.
It was built in 1628, this open-air courtyard theater, or “corral,” is a living monument to Spain’s Golden Age. What makes the Corral de Comedias truly special is that it is the only surviving example of a corral-style theater that is still in use today. Despite the passage of centuries, the venue remains largely unchanged, maintaining its original wooden galleries, stage, and seating arrangements.
The historic buildings, some dating back to the 16th century, showcased the town’s significance during Spain’s Golden Age.
At dusk, walking through the quiet, narrow streets, we felt transported to another era.
It was quiet and felt like we had gone back in time.
Almagro was a great city to explore and enjoy some of the local culture of Castile-La Mancha.
