Το El Cerro Calderico είναι το μεγάλο σύμβολο της Consuegra, με το κάστρο της Muela και τους ανεμόμυλους στην κορυφή του.

It is located in Plaza de España. The museum is housed in the emblematic 17th-century building known as "Los Corredores," renowned for its wooden balcony and traditional La Mancha-style arcades. It formerly served as the courthouse, theater, and municipal administration building before becoming a museum in 1985.

Calderico Hill rises from the plains of La Mancha, visible for miles around and giving Consuegra (Toledo) its distinctive character. Its most notable heritage features are the castle and the windmills that line its summit, following its longitudinal profile. The views of the windmills and castle are truly worth seeing.

Before a nice climb and descent

A work of military architecture that the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem built after Alfonso VIII ceded the old fortifications and the district of Consuegra to the Order. The castle underwent transformations, renovations, and restorations, and its uses adapted to the needs and sociopolitical changes of the time. It enjoyed its splendor during the 13th and 15th centuries, and although it remained inhabited, it suffered a gradual but inexorable process of abandonment until its final decline with the confiscation of church property by Mendizábal in the 19th century. Finally, thanks to the will and perseverance of the inhabitants of Consuegra, the castle was gradually restored to return it to its former splendor. It can be visited Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

This hermitage, surrounded by exuberant nature, offers a spiritual and peaceful experience to those who visit it. If you ever have the opportunity to visit this place, you will immerse yourself in the beauty of the Montes de Toledo and the tranquility of the hermitage. Happy exploring! 🚶‍♂️🌟

On the esplanade in front of the hermitage of the Virgin of Valdehierro, the pilgrimage takes place on May 1. The previous Sunday the Virgin is carried on a litter from Madridejos to the hermitage. The devotion that the Virgin of Valdehierro has acquired has been so great that in 1990 she was declared Patroness of the Town of Madridejos and Perpetual Mayor by the Plenary of the City Council. Almost all the routes that we can take through the Valdehierro mountain range start from here, both on foot and by bike.
