Chinchon offers an historic church with a Goya painting, 16th century archiictecture, a quaint and unusual Plaza Mayor, a beautiful parador and lively markets.
A favourite with Madrilenos, the village of Chinchon is only 50 kilometres from Madrid and accessible by local bus. Nestled against a hill, the compact little town is dominated by the church of Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion (1534-1626), which was sacked and burned by Napoleonic troops in 1808. The current church was completed in 1828 and is a blend of Gothic, Plateresque, Renaissance and Baroque styles. Inside the church is Goyas magnificent painting of the Assumption of the Virgin while the grounds offer panoramic views of the rooftops of Chinchon against a backdrop of the plains of Castile in the distance. Near the church is a seventeenth century clocktower, belonging to the old parish church of Nuestra Senora de Gracia and restored in 1856.
Prominent in the town centre are the nobles mansions with their coats of arms and ancestral homes with beautiful courtyards and galleries resting on Doric, Ionic and Tuscan columns or with bases of stone.
The sixteenth century Plaza Mayor is fascinating. Unlike the central plazas of many Spanish towns, Chinchon Plaza Mayor is irregular in shape and formed by houses of of two and three floors with running balconies, it has been the scene of many great events and presentations. Rather it follows the contours of the hill. The Plaza is ringed by taverns and restaurants with tables spilling out onto the cobble stoned square. Choose a table at one of the many outdoor cafes and sample the excellent chorizo and locally produced anis. Choose carefully, however, as some tables, because of the sloping pavement, look too precarious to support a glass of anis.
The second and third floors of every building surrounding the plaza boast wooden porticos overlooking the plaza, which in the bullfight season in August are rented out to spectators. However the decks of these centuries old buildings are, like the square itself, not level, giving the appearance that they might collapse at any minute. Nevertheless some of the restaurants provide dining tables on the balconies.
It is also worth taking a stroll through the Parador. A renovated Augustinian convent called St Mary of Paradise, its cloisters have been glassed-in and surround a pretty garden with a central fountain.
Perhaps the best day to visit Chinchon is Saturday which is market day. On this day the square is filled with fruit, vegetable and cheese sellers ,as well as stalls selling fascinating antique farm implements and an intriguing array of household bric a brac.
