Idyllic place with absolute silence to relax your mind for a while

The Valmores watering hole was restored in 2022, recovering an essential piece in the ethnographic heritage of Pezuela de las Torres. The first references to the fountain appear in the Topographic Relations of 1578. In 1735, reforms and improvements were made to the original spring, making it essential in the daily life of the countryside. The construction has a functional design to water livestock at a crossroads of the Alcarreño moor with trees and benches to take a break.

Pezuela de las Torres acquired jurisdictional independence in 1554 for the payment of one and a half million maravedis, erecting a pillory in the Plaza del Coso that represented the power to administer justice and a place for the town's residents to see criminals who were being sentenced to a pillory. The pillory is seven metres high on a pedestal of four steps and is topped with the heads of four lions. Next to it is the Plaza de la Constitución, home to the Town Hall and the Church of the Assumption, with a Romanesque apse and the rest rebuilt between the 16th and 18th centuries. It has a curious stately doorway from 1748 and a 16th century porticoed gallery, known as El Portalillo, the former meeting centre of the council. Most of the town's streets are on a slope, facing the plain, some houses retain the traditional two-storey country architecture and white facades. On Cerro del Calvario there are remains of traditional wineries used to make wine.

The unique urban style of Nuevo Baztán maintains the original Baroque model from the beginning of the 18th century, designed by José de Churriguera by order of Juan de Goyeneche, who had permission from Charles II to build glass, paper and textile factories on Spanish territory. The Navarrese businessman was originally from Arizkun, in the Baztán Valley, but spent time in Madrid because he had other properties and professional relations with the Court. He chose the site of Madrid's Alcarria to found an industrial and rural centre in honour of his homeland and commissioned the Madrid architect to build a glass factory, a farming village of half a thousand inhabitants, a palace, a monumental church and gardens with centuries-old pines and elms. The town preserves cobbled streets, stone squares, rural buildings from the time of its foundation, between 1709 and 1713, and palace gardens, a beautiful heritage complex declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1941 and a Site of Cultural Interest in 2000.

The fields of Cerro de la Cruz are dedicated to the cultivation of cereals, the diversity of tones of the land is striking, a mixture of whitish gypsum with marls and clays of grey, ochre and reddish tones, an attractive chromatic setting but with few interesting nutrients for cultivation.

The current fountain was restored in 2015 and has a fresh water spout and a large trough. The area is equipped with benches and a recreational area. Until recently, the spring was the main source of drinking water for the town of Valverde de Alcalá.

Valverde de Alcalá is a village hidden between hillsides and slopes, it seems to seek geographical independence among the Alcarrian moors. At the entrance is the bullring and at the back of the urban complex the church of Santo Tomás Apóstol. The Plaza Mayor is the most welcoming and hospitable place in the town, a meeting place for locals and visitors, the ground is paved with red and white flagstones and on one side is the striking façade of the Town Hall. The streets are quiet, without traffic, and it is pleasant to get to know the place by walking, in some streets there are rural houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. A notable building is the Finca de los Ángeles, outside the urban complex, a convent of Dominican monks that had an important power as a religious foundation and at the same time served as a warehouse and distribution of agricultural products, it preserves the flour mill, the cilla or warehouse, the dovecotes, the monks' rooms, the church and different dependencies with different architectural characteristics according to the use of each one. The start of the hiking routes is in the plain, on the corner of Camino de San Roque and Calle Torres, with a convenient place to park.
