ヘレンシアのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A small, restored stone bridge over the Valdehierro stream that was part of the Roman road that linked Toledo and Granada.

Originally, it was the town's first cemetery. It wasn't until the 1960s that it was transformed into the current hermitage dedicated to Saint Joseph. It's a small enclosure reminiscent of a farmyard, complete with watering troughs and a small chapel. It's distinguished by its whitewashed facade and indigo base.

The Herencia Windmills are one of the most characteristic symbols of La Mancha and are located in the town of Herencia (Ciudad Real). The first windmill was built in 1790 because they were more economical and efficient than water mills, especially in an area with limited waterways. By 1807, there were as many as 11 mills, although seven remain today: El Ama, La Niece, Dulcinea, Maritornes, La Dueña Dolorida, La Duquesa, and Teresa Panza. Four of them were restored in 2003, giving them the typical La Mancha image we associate with Cervantes' work.

After riding through dry environments, a nice place to stop and watch the birds for a while.

The Laguna Grande de Villafranca de los Caballeros is one of the largest river lagoons in La Mancha and the only one in the region with recreational use. With its 2.5 km long beach, it is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer months.

The Plaza de la Constitución in Puerto Lápice is a beautiful square in La Mancha, with two levels of arcades made of ochre-coloured wood. It is the meeting point for locals and visitors. Festivals, dances and theatres are held there, as it is shaped like a corral de comedias.
