The Plaza de España in Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) is home to one of the city's most representative symbols: the sculpture of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, a work that pays homage to Cervantes' immortal characters.

The "La Unión" windmill was originally known as "El Viejo" (The Old One), but after a fire at the end of the 19th century, its name was changed to La Unión (The Union), thanks to the numerous financial contributions from the residents of Camuñas that facilitated its reconstruction. The machinery was acquired in Campo de Criptana from an old mill that was already in disuse, so although the machinery we can admire today is not the original, its age is evident in the details of its workmanship. During the reconstruction, it underwent several changes, giving the building more interior space. Although the interior diameter was maintained, the reed roof was replaced with a zinc one.

After the tourist office...a beautiful mill to visit inside...with a video explaining its wonderful mechanism.

A work of military architecture that the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem built after Alfonso VIII ceded the old fortifications and the district of Consuegra to the Order. The castle underwent transformations, renovations, and restorations, and its uses adapted to the needs and sociopolitical changes of the time. It enjoyed its splendor during the 13th and 15th centuries, and although it remained inhabited, it suffered a gradual but inexorable process of abandonment until its final decline with the confiscation of church property by Mendizábal in the 19th century. Finally, thanks to the will and perseverance of the inhabitants of Consuegra, the castle was gradually restored to return it to its former splendor. It can be visited Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

This town is located next to an important lagoon area, of a brackish nature, at the confluence of the Cigüela and Amarguillo rivers. The lagoons have been used since the Iron Age until the present day, in the 18th century they were exploited to manufacture gunpowder. From a visit to this town we must highlight the church of the Assumption and among its hermitages that of the Holy Christ.

The Herencia Windmills are an essential part of the heritage of this town in La Mancha. Initially built in 1790, these mills were an economical and practical solution to the scarcity of water in the region.

Camuñas has an Interpretation Center for the Corpus Christi Sins and Dancers festival. Installed in a modern building made of exposed concrete and textured in ocher color, it is perfectly integrated into the hamlet that surrounds it. Oral tradition says that a former hospital of the Order of Malta was located on the site now occupied by the current building; We know of its existence from the Relations of Philip II and the Ensenada Cadastre and, although we do not know its location in documents, it does not seem unreasonable to think that it was located at the beginning of the emblematic La Tercia street, at the other end of which is the Parish of Nª Sª de la Asunción, hosting between both buildings the final and most impressive section of the Corpus Christi procession.
