Church of Our Lady of Good Success

Highlight • Religious Site

The Parish Church was built in 1859. It features neo-Romanesque elements and, essentially, the archivolts at the entrance. The central nave is more than twenty meters long and six meters wide. Large windows (stained glass) open on the walls, filling the interior with light and color.

Puerto Lapice (La Mancha)

Highlight • Settlement

In a place in La Mancha lies Puerto Lápice, whose name the follower of Don Quixote's steps will remember for its evocation of him, because everything that surrounds it evokes the masterful novel that mentions this town up to four times. Its name also remembers its meeting of paths in the foothills of the Montes de Toledo and the lapice stone ground that we walk on. “And, speaking about the last adventure, they continued on their way to Puerto Lápice, because there Don Quixote said that it was impossible not to encounter many and diverse adventures, because it was a very temporary place.”

The whitewashed houses and their typically La Mancha construction do not undo the literary spell. The Plaza Mayor is a construction with two floors of arcades, supported by wooden footings and uprights, painted in the characteristic reddish color of La Mancha. Details of the Ingenious Hidalgo are hidden everywhere.

The sales that are the origin of the population maintain their structure and some revive in their patios, in their activity and even in their type of service, meetings, appointments or memories of Cervantes' masterful novel.
