After walking about 100 km in the last 4 days we’re having a rest day in Sigüenza (pop 4,400; alt 1,000m), a compact medieval town located below its castle.
After the Arab conquest, the Muslims built a border military fortress on top of the rock that dominates the valley. It fell to the Christians in 1124. There’s a lot to see in a small area, the Tourist Information lists 30 Points of Interest in the old town.
