Chinchón, considered one of the most beautiful villages in the Community of Madrid, will be celebrating again this weekend on the occasion of one of the most important events of the year in its calendar: the celebration of its Medieval Market 2025. The event will decorate different locations (such as the Plaza de San Roque or its emblematic Plaza Mayor) so that attendees can go back in time until they reach, of course, the Middle Ages.
During these three days, characters such as minstrels will return to the streets, events such as knightly combat and craft stalls will be set up. Not forgetting the traditional cuisine or a children’s corner designed for the little ones.
