This town is located next to an important lagoon area, of a brackish nature, at the confluence of the Cigüela and Amarguillo rivers. The lagoons have been used from the times of the Iron Age to the present, in the 18th century they were exploited to manufacture gunpowder. From the visit to this town we must highlight the church of the Asunción and among its hermitages that of Santo Cristo.

The church, located on Cervantes Street, was built in the 12th century and renovated in the 16th and 18th centuries. Its floor plan is a Latin cross and offers visitors a beautiful colorful exterior, due to the type of stone used in its canvases. Inside, the Gothic ribbed vault that covers the central nave stands out, as well as the beautiful baptismal font from the 15th century and a silver monstrance from the 19th century. Just over five minutes away we will find the hermitage of Santo Cristo de Santa Ana, built between the 16th and 17th centuries. Its beautiful baroque façade and interior frescoes on the dome and walls will draw our attention. All the pictorial decoration is from the 18th century.

The walk through its streets and squares reveals a luminous white hamlet dotted with the typical La Mancha indigo. On Cervantes Street there is a manor house with a family coat of arms and the one known as Casa Galitos is also notable. Its impressive parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and the numerous hermitages spread throughout the town such as Santo Cristo de Santa Ana or San Antón stand out.
