May 9, 2026, Plaza Mayor de La Alberca

At the village's social meeting point, the Plaza Mayor with its arcades, stands a beautiful granite pilgrim's cross.

Striking about the houses are the stone support beams above the doorposts. Religious texts are engraved on them and there are dates from the 1700s and 1800s. After the reconquista, when the area was repopulated, many Jews came to live in the village. Because the church forbade the Jews to practice their religion, they had to prove that they had joined the Catholic church by engraving biblical texts above their houses.

The portraits on the facades of Mogarraz are one of the town's most striking features. In 2012, artist Florencio Maíllo began a project to recover old ID photos taken in the 1960s by Alejandro Martín. He painted more than 800 portraits on canvases and placed them on the facades of the town's houses. Each portrait depicts a resident who lived there during that time, creating a unique open-air museum in Spain. The goal: to preserve collective memory and bring the streets to life with art.
