Between Almagro and Valdepeñas is the La Mancha town of Moral de Calatrava, on the border of the Campo de Calatrava region. This town presents us with beautiful natural landscapes and an urban layout that has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site for being a clear example of popular architecture. Without forgetting the church of San Andrés, built between the 15th and 16th centuries, it is in a fabulous state of preservation.

Moral de Calatrava is a town in the Campo de Calatrava region, in the province of Ciudad Real, belonging to the autonomous community of Castilla - La Mancha.

The oldest settlements in the area date from the Middle Paleolithic, but remains of Roman settlements have also been found in the vicinity of the Jabalón River.

Already in the fifteenth century Moral de Calatrava was a population of a certain entity, coinciding with its emancipation from the population of Almagro.

Its historical heritage of religious origin is remarkable. The church of San Andrés, built on a Roman fort from the 3rd century, was for three centuries a fortification with a watchtower. It also has four hermitages (the Virgen de la Soledad, San Roque, San Blas and the Virgen de la Sierra), as well as the convent and hermitage of Cristo de la Humildad.

The local economy is predominantly agricultural, with the production of wine and oil as the main products.
