Valmojado, as its name already suggests, has a close relationship with water and the underground trips it makes through the municipality. These trips are manifested in the Cinco Fuentes (Quique Fontes) that are located at the main access points to the town. Each of these fountains has its own name: Fuente del Caño Viejo or Fresco, Fuente del Indiano, Fuente de la Teja, Caño de Méntrida and Fuente de la Salud.

The hermitage of Cristo de la Misericordia and the parish church of Santa María Magdalena stand out. A curiosity is that this town is still buried under the rubble of the real estate boom. In the 2000s, it was intended to turn it into a new "dormitory city" for Madrid and the town went from having 500 to 2,000 homes, many of which were never lived in, or even finished building. The town went through a hard stage after the real estate crisis that still lasts today.

Fuensalida has had several moments of splendor, being in the 16th century when it reached its peak and most of the emblematic buildings of the town were built. In the middle of the 20th century, a footwear industry started that ended up becoming the largest in the province of Toledo, a rank that it still holds today.

This town of medieval splendor stands out for its walls and its castle, curiously built outside the walls as its function was purely defensive. It was a place of great importance until the 16th century, on the same level as other cities such as Segovia. Today it is a good place to stop on a route through the area.

If you are interested in the phenomena of real estate speculation, you can take a ride with your bike through the successive extensions that were made in this agricultural town in the 2000s, when it was intended to turn it into a new "dormitory city" for Madrid. The town went from having 500 to 2,000 homes, many of which were never inhabited, or even completed. The town went through a tough time after the real estate crisis with high unemployment rates and the hangover of this recent history still lingers today.
