The Hermitage of San Antón is one of the historic hermitages of Torrenueva, linked for centuries to the devotion to Saint Anthony, patron saint of animals. Originally, it was dedicated to Saint Sebastian, at least until approximately 1740. A Confraternity of Saint Sebastian already existed in 1575, demonstrating its antiquity. From 1740 onwards, devotion to Saint Sebastian declined while devotion to Saint Anthony grew, probably due to the local tradition of "running the animals to the hermitage" on his feast day.

The Paseo de la Estación in Valdepeñas is one of the city's most emblematic places, with great historical and architectural value. It originated with the arrival of the railway in 1861, as a connection between the station and the town center. For about 50 years, it was a dirt track used by carriages to transport goods. In 1912, it was developed into its current urban layout: a central paved promenade and two side lanes for vehicles. It was Valdepeñas' first and only boulevard for over a century, a key axis of urban expansion, and a venue for fairs until the 1970s.
