In the plains that form the terraces of the Henares River, in the region of la Campiña, we find Marchamalo, a town that shines with its own light in spite of having the Guadalajara capital as a neighbor, of which it is separated by only 4 km.
Hence, this town was a district integrated in Guadalajara’s until the 1990s. The proximity has benefited the town since it has led to its extensive population, more than five thousand inhabitants, and with modern infrastructures and services. These people, marchamaleros/as or also known as gallardos/as, are very welcoming and friendly to visitors who come to get to know their history and see their most emblematic buildings, among which we can highlight the Palace of los Ramírez de Arellano from 1587.
