In the Alcudia Valley, we find the municipality of Almodóvar del Campo built on the slope of a volcano, so present in Campo de Calatrava, and whose crater is now a lagoon. The Arab footprint is the most emblematic of the city, leaving behind the memory of the Castle and above all the unique Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption. There you can see the first videomapping in Spain permanently installed in a closed space, under the theme of the life and work of San Juan de Ávila.

Monuments and centers of cultural interest are scattered throughout its streets: the Palermo Museum, the Casa-Convento de La Merced, the current home of the Hieronymite nuns, modernist in style and dating from the 19th century. Continuing the visit you can visit the Cervantina Library, inside which an infinite number of editions of Don Quixote are collected, in different languages, formats and periods, as well as canvases and drawings related to the Cervantine character. From here you can also see the Municipal Theatre, built in 1845 on the site of the old Carmelite Convent.
