What you’ll see in Chinchón
Chinchón sits about 45 minutes south-east of Madrid — a small Castilian town built around one of Spain’s most beautiful squares, an almost circular Plaza Mayor ringed by tiers of green-painted wooden balconies. Its old town gathers a medieval castle, the church of the Assumption — which holds a painting by Goya — and a former convent that is now a parador, all within an easy stroll. Chinchón is just as famous for its table: the local anís liqueur, its garlic and long lunches in cave restaurants dug beneath the old houses. With your own car and driver, a relaxed half or full day is plenty to wander the town and linger over lunch at your own pace.

The day, roughly
A day in Chinchón
It’s only a suggestion — the car and driver stay with you all day, so you set the order and the pace.
Morning
We collect you from your Madrid hotel or address and drive south-east, arriving in about 45 minutes. Start in the almost circular Plaza Mayor, ringed by three-story houses with green wooden balconies, the heart of the old town.
Late morning
Wander the compact old town — see the medieval Castillo de los Condes from the outside, the Iglesia de la Asunción, which holds a painting by Goya, and the Torre del Reloj that looks over the rooftops.
Lunch
Break for a long, relaxed lunch — Chinchón is famous for its garlic, its roast lamb and the local anís liqueur, served in cave restaurants dug beneath the old houses. There’s no clock to watch; the driver waits while you eat.
Afternoon
In the afternoon see the parador in its former convent and the quieter corners around the Teatro Lope de Vega, and pick up some local anís before you head home whenever you’re ready.

Good to know
Chinchón — good to know
What is there to see in Chinchón in one day?
The heart of Chinchón is its almost circular Plaza Mayor, ringed by houses with green wooden balconies. Around it you can see the medieval castle from the outside, the Iglesia de la Asunción with its painting by Goya, the Clock Tower and the parador in a former convent — all within an easy walk. It is a compact town, so much of the day is spent simply strolling the square and settling in for a long local lunch.
How much time do you need in Chinchón, and where does the driver drop us off?
Chinchón is a compact town, so even a half day is plenty — with about 45 minutes’ drive each way, you can be on the Plaza Mayor by late morning and still enjoy a long lunch. The narrow old town is largely pedestrian, so your driver drops you close to the square and picks you up wherever suits, handling the parking. Many guests make a full day of it by pairing Chinchón with nearby Aranjuez.
Can we combine Chinchón with another destination in the same day?
Yes — because the car and driver are yours for the day, many guests pair Chinchón with Aranjuez and its Royal Palace and riverside gardens, about half an hour away, and some make a longer day of it by adding Toledo. Just tell us when you book so we plan the route and timings; it’s the same private car, at one fixed price agreed up front.
Is Chinchón worth it as a day trip from Madrid?
For many visitors, yes — Chinchón is one of the prettiest villages near Madrid, about 45 minutes away, and its circular Plaza Mayor, old town and famous local cooking make for a relaxed half or full day. Going privately means no train or bus times to catch, so you can linger over lunch and leave and return exactly when you like.
