Join us for a day trip to the charming medieval town of Brihuega and its beautiful lavender fields. A slice of Provence right in the centre of Spain!

Brihuega is famous in Spain for its lavender cultivation and surprisingly, it is one of the world's major producers of lavender and lavender products, including oil which is used by one of the big Spanish perfume brands.

But away from the lavender fields, we discovered that Brihuega has much more to offer than just Instagramable photos of purple hillsides. Find out about the town's turbulent history, Moorish past, former royal cloth factory, secret tunnels and relaxing fountains. A perfect day trip from Madrid!
