マドリデホスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Calderico Hill rises from the plains of La Mancha, visible for miles around and giving Consuegra (Toledo) its distinctive character. Its most notable heritage features are the castle and the windmills that line its summit, following its longitudinal profile. The views of the windmills and castle are truly worth seeing.

The church was built in 1567, also in the Castilian-Mudéjar architectural style, like many other buildings in the town. Its construction is a mix of brick and stone, with a Latin cross floor plan, a pentagonal apse, a bell tower at the foot divided into four symmetrical sections, and a square dome with a vaulted ceiling typical of Toledo masonry. Traces of materials from earlier periods can be seen in its walls. Inside, one can find paintings by Joseph Beraton.

Before a nice climb and descent

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.

Interesting to get inside and discover how it works..

The Plaza de España, the axis from which everything starts: the sober town hall from 1670, with Toledo-style masonry; connected to this building by an arch, the clock tower; the San Gumersindo Palace, from the 20th century and imitation Mudejar; the 'Los Corredores' building, from the 17th century, with a beautiful wooden balcony typically from La Mancha, which was a silo, a grain warehouse and a town hall, and currently houses the Municipal Archaeological Museum.
