    Daimiel offers us spectacular views in its surroundings, and the Motilla site is no exception. More than four thousand years ago, its inhabitants built several concentric lines of walls and a robust square tower over a deep well.

    The Bronze Age emerged in La Mancha, where water was of great importance due to its scarcity. This has been going on for a long time. Inside the courtyard, the inhabitants of the Azuer dug a well to reach the water table, at a depth of about 16 meters, to supply water to the settlement. Its function varied during the different phases of occupation. It was also used as an occasional stabling area for sheep, goats, and pigs, but primarily as a storehouse for grain (barley and wheat). Grave goods are scarce, except for rare cases of adult individuals buried with ceramic vessels, copper-rivet daggers, and copper awls, which could indicate a hierarchical society. This profound journey into the second millennium BC is not only well preserved but also magical and unique.
