The best walks and hikes in Las Navas De Malagón

The "Sancho and Rucio" statue is located in the town of Malagón, in the Montes Norte region. This sculpture represents Sancho Panza, Don Quixote's faithful squire, riding on his donkey, Rucio. These characters are immortalized in Miguel de Cervantes' work, Don Quixote de la Mancha. The statue is located in Malagón's Plaza del Santo and pays tribute to these iconic characters of Spanish literature. It is a point of interest for both literature lovers and those who enjoy cultural tourism and Cervantes routes.

The Malagón Bullring is a place with a rich history and significance. The bullring owes its name to a wooden cross with greenish pigments that was found on one of the facades of the old houses surrounding the area. Although its exact origin is unknown, its existence has been documented since the 18th century. This green cross was an emblem of the Inquisition and led the processions held on the eve of an auto-da-fé. It symbolized the hope of eternal salvation for heretics reconciled with the Catholic Church.

In 1941, with the nationalization of the Iberian gauge railways, the facilities passed into the hands of RENFE. In January 1988, the facilities and most of the Madrid-Ciudad Real line were closed due to the construction of the New Railway Access to Andalusia.​ Currently the travelers building is preserved, which has been converted into a bar.

If you're in Malagón, you might want to visit Amores Lounge Bar to enjoy their atmosphere and try some of their tapas! 😊🍻

The Bañuelos River Bridge from Roman times surprises us with its ten eyes, today battered awaiting rehabilitation, formed by brick vault arches, joined with lime and sand mortar. On the right bank of the river next to the bridge is the Carrillo Mill, named after its first owner. It is a construction from 1713, made with masonry walls and thick cylindrical buttresses, covered with wooden trusses and curved tiles that preserve the original machinery.

In the area, known as El Chaparral, there is a recreation area, ideal for walking, watching water birds and for children and pets to play safely, with magnificent views of the Malagón mountain range.
