ペドロ・ムニョスのおすすめライド

The windmills of San Antón Hill are one of the great symbols of Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) and an essential part of the Don Quixote Route. They emerged in La Mancha in the mid-16th century as an alternative to the scarcity of watermills, due to the climate and the terrain. San Antón Hill is a Paleozoic elevation located southeast of the town, about 2.5 km from the town center, with spectacular views of the La Mancha plains.

It is located in the so-called Paraje de San Isidro, a pine forest 1 kilometre from the town centre of Campo de Criptana, and can be reached by road or by the comfortable path parallel to the CM-3105 road, which runs from the town to the Sanctuary of Cristo de Villajos.

The hill of the windmills immediately attracts attention, it is one of the hallmarks of La Mancha and an icon that we all link to the adventures of the “illustrious gentleman” who mistook the windmills for giants. The Wetlands Natural Trail enters the town and before reaching the center it turns to the left to visit the Cerro de la Paz, where the famous mills are located. In the 18th century there were 34 windmills, now there are 10 standing and three are original, the rest have been rebuilt or restored during the last century, each with its own name. Now they no longer fulfill the function for which they were built, they are history, legend and evocation, and an extraordinary place to enjoy the sunset on the endless horizon of La Mancha. The route goes down the hill, passes through the hill of the Nuestra Señora de Criptana hermitage and continues along favorable terrain towards the Pedro Muñoz lagoon complex, known as “Don Quixote Wetland”, with two new lagoons frequented by groups of ornithologists to observe birds and end point of the stage.

This wonderful lagoon located on the outskirts of Pedro Muñoz can be explored following the circular path along its perimeter. In addition, you can observe the birds it hosts from the observatories set up for this purpose. Without a doubt, an experience that you can enjoy as a family.
