Beautiful village between La Alcarria and the Entrepeñas Reservoir.

Such a sacred monument shows the faithful devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was once deeply rooted in popular piety. This tradition can be traced back three and a half centuries in church history, but is probably even older. The arms of Jesus, often spread wide on these statues, are not meant to remind us of the crucified Christ, but rather to represent an invitation to the loving embrace of the Son of God.

Alocén is a pretty town with cobbled streets and beautiful traditional architecture located next to the Entrepeñas reservoir.

The Alcoén viewpoint, located a short distance from the town center of the town of the same name, offers beautiful views of the Entrepeñas reservoir and the surrounding green mountains.

The hill of La Coronilla offers us an impressive view and the Monument to the Heart of Jesus.

Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, stands out for its slender tower that distinguishes the cutout in the sky of the profile of the municipality, and appears in the story of the Trip to the Alcarria by Camilo José Cela; Its Renaissance façade and its transitional Gothic interior also stand out.

The hermitage of the Virgen del Socorro is located about six kilometers from the town, in the middle of a landscape of dense forests and clean heights, overlooking the depth of the Tagus river, pooled in the Bolarque reservoir and in front of the impressive rock of the Castle of Anguix. This enclave has, in addition to the devotional and historical value that it contains, the characteristic of being an extraordinary viewpoint of the Tagus valley, and on the path that takes us to its height you can go contemplating the grandeur of the Alcarria that collects in the large reservoirs from Entrepeñas and Buendía the waters of the Tagus and Guadiela.

The town is surrounded by four hermitages that we can also visit, dedicated to Santa Bárbara, La Soledad, San Roque and Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza, built in 1691 by Juan García Ochaíta. The latter stands out for its large dimensions and for having been moved stone by stone to the top of a hill due to works on the reservoir.
