Casas de Cuadra is shaped by winegrowing; the CM Caserío Rural de Sisternas is located in Requena, next to the hamlet. Several cycling routes lead from Casas de Cuadra to different destinations. Their themes range from the village square and the history behind its name to an escape room experience and tours with clearly specified distances. The museum reservation requirement and the different route details provide concrete points to help you plan.

Winegrowing and Local History

Casas de Cuadra is dedicated to winegrowing. The name of the village derives from Canon Alonso de la Cuadra, who owned the land in the 18th century. A century-old elm tree stands out in the village square. Together, these details offer different perspectives on the place: its agricultural character, the origin of its name, and a distinctive feature of the village. Those interested in local history will therefore find not only a name from the past, but also a tangible connection to the village square.

Museum and Escape Room Experience

The CM Caserío Rural de Sisternas is located in the Caserío de Sisternas in Requena, next to the hamlet of Casas de Cuadra. It is housed in a former family winery that was converted into an ethnographic museum. Reservations are required for museum visits. Its former use as a family winery connects it to the village’s winegrowing, while its ethnographic focus adds a cultural and historical dimension.

An escape room experience at Museo Sisternas combines an escape game with a museum visit, wines, cavas, and a light snack. This offers a playful alternative alongside a museum visit. Arrange the details of this experience before you arrive.
