After the walk, what better way to end the visit to Villanueva de los Infantes than with some Coca-Colas, some cold beers and some tapas in a typical local bar right in the Plaza Mayor, as its name suggests.

On one side is the Church of Santo Domingo, built in the 17th century following the principles of the Counter-Reformation. Highlights include the main altar with its Baroque altarpiece featuring Solomonic columns. Above it are interesting frescoes depicting Saint Dominic. Among the side chapels, the Chapel of Souls, founded by the Ballesteros family, the Chapel of Ecce Homo, commissioned by the Duke of San Fernando, and the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, commissioned by the Bustos family, are particularly noteworthy. However, the most visited site is the convent, or rather, the cell where Francisco de Quevedo died in 1645. Quevedo's cell, open to the public, is the exact spot where the writer passed away shortly after arriving in Villanueva, already very ill. Following the confiscation of church property in 1844, the convent was closed, and today part of the building houses cultural events and a hotel. The opening hours and admission prices are as follows: Opening Hours: Monday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Closed Tuesdays. Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Admission: €2 (Reduced: €1).

The Plaza Mayor is Neoclassical in style and a key element of the urban design, housing the main political and religious institutions. The Church of San Andrés is notable for its Neoclassical façade, featuring a deep semicircular arch, an image of Saint Andrew, and the coat of arms of the Habsburgs. Inside, the Chapel of the Busts is preserved, in whose crypt Francisco de Quevedo was buried. Visiting hours and prices are: Hours: Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Admission: General €2 (Reduced €1).

Built between 1713 and 1729 as part of the monumental complex that includes the Church of the Most Holy Christ of the Valley. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1993. Originally conceived as a church atrium, it was transformed into a unique porticoed plaza in La Mancha.

The beautiful main square was built by the same architect with the intention of being like an atrium to frame it and integrate it into the complex. The square is an enormous rectangle measuring almost 53 m long by 21 m wide: on one side, the Town Hall with a cantilevered balcony on wooden corbels; on the other, the Casa Grande de la Hospedería. It has a carriage yard with wooden galleries opening onto it. From its sides arise the brick arches that give way to the wide, straight radial streets of this town.

San Carlos del Valle opens from its splendid Plaza Mayor with an orthogonal projection and an almost round perimeter. Everything extends around a radiated origin, the centre of that circumference, the church of Santísimo Cristo del Valle, where the peak of the compass overwhelms us. It is a late baroque church, with certain influences of the neoclassical style. It is an immense cube with four towers superimposed at its corners and an enormous dome that emerges over the building. The temple has four facades, two of which have a main door of extraordinary beauty and well-deserved study in their centre.

It is located in La Carrasca, about 14 km north of Villahermosa. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherd named Juan Cortés on top of an oak tree, from which the name of the sanctuary comes. A hermitage was built on the site of the apparition, which over time became the current sanctuary.
