Question 1

How many windmills are there and are they open to visitors?

Accepted Answer

There are twelve restored windmills on the Cerro Calderico ridge. Several are open to the public and contain small exhibitions, though opening hours vary by season and individual windmill; checking with the local tourist office on arrival is advisable.

Question 2

Is the town worth visiting outside the Saffron Festival?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The windmills, castle, and old town are compelling year-round, and visiting outside festival season means far fewer crowds and a more authentic experience of the town's daily rhythm.

Question 3

Can I reach the town by public transport from Madrid?

Accepted Answer

Direct public transport is limited. Occasional bus services run from Madrid and Toledo, but schedules are infrequent and connections are not reliable. A rental car or guided tour from Madrid is the most practical option for most travellers.

Question 4

How long does a visit to the ridge and castle typically take?

Accepted Answer

A thorough visit to the full ridge, all open windmills, and the castle typically takes between two and three hours. Adding a meal and a walk through the old town makes for a comfortable half-day or full-day excursion.

Question 5

When is the Saffron Rose Festival held and how do I attend?

Accepted Answer

The festival takes place on the last weekend of October each year. It is a public event with free access to most activities; the town's official website and local tourist office publish the full programme in advance each autumn.
