Burguillos is said to have been the winery of Toledo, due to the wonderful vineyards owned by the locals. Of particular note is the small church of Santa María, built in 1147 and later renovated in 1633.

The charming old town is located a little south of Toledo. The large central square features historic buildings surrounding the small church of Santa María, which was built in 1147 and later renovated in 1633. The municipality emerged during the Christian reconquest of the 11th century and grew in population throughout the 12th and 13th centuries. It was always a royal lordship dependent on Toledo, and in the 16th century it was even referred to as the winery of Toledo for the excellent wines produced there. It did not become independent until the 19th century, when it was granted the title of town and its jurisdictional roll was established. Its urban center, which had been taking shape over the centuries, is full of important manor houses related to that lordship, and popular architecture runs through its streets and alleys, highlighting the parish church and the hermitage of San Blas. Its municipality also houses part of the defensive system of the southern front of the Tagus River, created during the Spanish Civil War. Sections of the trenches and bunkers are preserved as part of its historical legacy. Virtually flat lands where you can still see remnants of Mediterranean holm oak forests and vast fields and pastures are part of its natural environment. Various paths crisscross the municipality, allowing visitors to enjoy easy, peaceful walks where they can breathe in the clean air and enjoy the views of the vast Toledo plain.
