At present, it is not specified whether the Ethnological Museum of Chinchón is fully accessible for people with reduced mobility.

Chinchón is famous for its impressive Plaza Mayor, considered one of the most beautiful in Spain. Very close to the museum, you can also visit Chinchón Castle, the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, and the Convent of the Poor Clares.
