アルモドバルデルカンポのおすすめMTBライド

The Almodóvar del Campo Lagoon is a unique natural and geological feature located in the province of Ciudad Real, within the Campo de Calatrava region, famous for its volcanic landscapes. It is a lagoon formed in the crater of a volcano after a phreatomagmatic eruption (interaction between magma and groundwater). This type of lagoon is called a maar.

In the Alcudia Valley, we find the town of Almodóvar del Campo, built on the slopes of a volcano, so prevalent in the Campo de Calatrava region, whose crater is now a lagoon. The Moorish influence is the most emblematic of the town, leaving behind the memory of the Castle and, above all, the incomparable Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption. There, one can see the first videomapping projection in Spain permanently installed in an enclosed space, depicting the life and work of Saint John of Ávila.

Along Ramón y Cajal Street, we arrive at the Hermitage of the Holy Martyrs. A building from the mid-16th century, related to a "Vow" for contagion of plague, which was celebrated there. Its current appearance does not correspond to the original.

It is close to the Huerta Asaura park and is an important place for the local community.

Small but nice park. Right in front we can find an old Asadaor, now closed due to the retirement of the owners, but with luck the very nice lady lets us in to see the garden, formerly a terrace with tables, it is worth it.

From the 14th or early 15th century. Built in three parts. The first part is composed of the presbytery, in Romanesque style, while the central nave is Gothic with a ribbed vault.

The monuments and centers of cultural interest are spread throughout its streets: the Palermo Museum, the Casa-Convent of La Merced, current home of the Hieronymite nuns, in a modernist style and dating back to the 19th century. Continuing the visit you can visit the Cervantina Library, inside which countless editions of Don Quixote are collected, in various languages, formats and periods, as well as canvases and drawings related to the Cervantine character. From here you can also see the Municipal Theater, built in 1845 on the site of the old Carmelite Convent.

Small but nice park. Right in front we can find an old Asadaor, already closed due to the retirement of the owners, but with luck the very nice lady lets you in to see the garden, formerly a terrace with tables, it is worth it.
