When booking a holiday apartment in Calles, the travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective listing page are three separate points of reference. Depending on the travel period and the desired framework for the stay, a different one of these may come into focus first. The details can be considered independently of one another and related to the timeframe of the stay.

Culture

The Iglesia Parroquial de la Purísima Concepción in Calles is an 18th-century church. The cultural heritage of Calles includes a ceramic plaque honouring San Roque. Considering different cultural aspects side by side allows the town centre, church and ceramics to be viewed as distinct topics.

Routes and History

The Ruta Histórico Cultural Calles begins at the town hall and takes approximately one hour. Audio content can be accessed via QR codes on markers or posts. The route conveys the significance of the church and the town's ceramic plaques.

The Acueducto Romano de Peña Cortada was built between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD during the Roman Empire. It is 36 metres long and 33 metres high. The Ruta del Acueducto de Peña Cortada stretches for 28 kilometres.

The approximate one-hour duration of the cultural route and the 28 kilometres of the aqueduct route represent different route formats; comparing the two figures can help you better assess the desired scope of a day. The thematic focus of the two routes also differs.
