Villages and crafts
Between the shows
Between the big shows you stroll through historical villages from different centuries. You can watch craftspeople at work, eat on a terrace and let the children play. Everything is included in your ticket.
The villages
- El Arrabal: outside the walls grows the suburb, where traders, rogues and foreigners come together. At the Puerta del Sol you eat Spanish dishes in a thirteenth-century atmosphere.
- La Puebla Real: a village of free men, founded after Alfonso VI had taken Toledo. You will find damascene craftsmen, embroiderers and potters, the Jewish house and the armoury.
- La Venta de Isidro: Isidro and María came here with four chickens and a goat and built up an inn. You can see old crafts and their animals.
- El Askar Andalusí: the lavish camp of Caliph Abderramán III, with green silk pavilions, birds of prey and rare books.
- Villanueva del Corral: a Golden Age town, with one of the largest corrales de comedias in Spain.
Crafts to watch
- El Espadero de Vivar: according to legend, this is where Tizona, the sword of El Cid, was forged. In the show El Arte de Forjar Espadas (30 minutes), master swordsmith Antonio shows how a sword is made.
- Vidrio Soplado de Isidro: new in 2026. Isidro blows glass live into delicate figures.
- In La Puebla Real damascene craftsmen, embroiderers and potters are at work.
Nature and play
The park has several gardens and play areas:
- Los Alijares, Jardín del Cadete, Los Surtidores del Lazarillo and La Senda de los Ecos: green spots for a quiet stroll.
- El Taller de Don Serapio: wooden play equipment; meanwhile parents can share a snack at Los Dulces de Don Serapio.
- Miguelillo and Luciérnagas: two playgrounds for children.
- La Granja de Isidro: Isidro's farm, with animals.
Eating in the villages
In each village you eat in the atmosphere of that era. In La Puebla Real, Tuerto Miguel pours wine in his Bodeguita and María del Valle serves Castilian dishes at El Mesón del Buen Yantar. In El Arrabal you can have grilled meat at El Rincón del Herrero or a craft beer at El Llagar de Covadonga. Read more on the Food and drink page.
