Campo de Criptana Windmills
Highlight • Monument
The oldest mills, such as the Sardinero, Burleta and Infante, have been standing since the 16th century and preserve their original mechanism. There are also more modern mills, such as the Inca Garcilaso, the Cariari, the Vicente Huidobro, the Pilón, the Lagarto, the Culebro and the Poyatos, which date back to 1900. Currently, some of these mills can be visited, such as the Molino Infante, the Burleta, the Culebro (which houses the Sara Montiel Museum), the Quimera (which houses the town's Holy Week Museum) and the Poyatos Mill (current tourist information point). The others are closed to the public.
I hope you enjoy exploring these iconic windmills! 😊

Alcázar de San Juan
Highlight • Settlement
Its name comes from the Military Order of Saint John, which dominated the area after the Reconquista.
It claims to be the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, as the baptismal font where, according to some studies, the writer was baptized is preserved in the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor.
It was an important railway junction and economic center in the 19th and 20th centuries, which shaped its urban development.
