Guided visit · 1 h 30 · €5 · Plaza Mayor, church, Teatro Lope de Vega and Clock Tower with a municipal guide

The municipal tourist office organises a guided tour for individuals on Sundays at 10:00. It lasts around an hour and a half and, with a tourist guide, goes into the church of the Asunción and the Teatro Lope de Vega, and takes in the Clock Tower and the Plaza Mayor. It is the simplest way to see inside the two buildings that have no published hours of their own.
What you see
The church, begun in 1534 and finished in 1626, holds on its high altar The Assumption of the Virgin that Goya painted in 1812 at the request of his brother Camilo, chaplain of the parish. The Teatro Lope de Vega was built in 1891 by the Sociedad de Cosecheros on the ruins of the counts' palace; it bears the playwright's name because he wrote the comedy El Blasón de los Chaves de Villalba in that palace, and inside a curtain painted by Luis Muriel with views and allegories of the town stands out. The tower is what remained of the church of Gracia, burned in 1808, and the square, closed in 1683, is the centre of everything.
Dates, price and booking

When: every Sunday of the year at 10:00, except June, July, August and September.
Exception: it does not run on the first weekend of each month, which coincides with the open-door days.
Minimum: the website asks for a minimum of 20 people for the Sunday visit; if it isn't reached, it doesn't go ahead.
Price: €5 adults; €3 pensioners and children.

Book with the button on the guided tours page of the municipal tourism website. As it depends on the number of sign-ups, call the tourist office the day before to confirm it is going ahead. The meeting point does not appear on the website: ask when booking.
Groups and dramatised tours
Groups of at least 15 people on weekdays, or 20 at weekends and public holidays, have three packages. The shortest includes the square, the tower, the church and the theatre, for €5 per person in groups of fewer than 30. The others add the Poor Clares' convent, San Agustín, the interpretation centre and the hermitages of San Roque, the Rosario, the Misericordia and San Antón. You can add the Alcoholera de Chinchón, the La Posada Ethnological Museum or the exhibition Treasures of the Enclosure of the Poor Clares' monastery.
The dramatised tours "El Alma de Chinchón" (The Soul of Chinchón) are run by CulturArte Chinchón, on Saturdays and Sundays according to the calendar: dates and bookings on their website.
Who it is for
It is a walking tour, with no great slopes except the climb from the square to the church, suitable for families and first-time visitors. Afterwards it is a good time for the tasting at the Bodega del Nero, at 12:00 or 13:00.
