  5. Visit the abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas. This religious monument, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, reflects a mixture between romanesque, gothic and almohad architectural styles. In the past it served as venue for royal weddings, both foreign and Spanish, includying that of Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castille.
