Tips from the Community
Calderico Hill rises from the plains of La Mancha, visible for miles around and giving Consuegra (Toledo) its distinctive character. Its most notable heritage features are the castle and the windmills that line its summit, following its longitudinal profile. The views of the windmills and castle are truly worth seeing.

The windmills of Los Yébenes, in the province of Toledo, are a historic and scenic site worth visiting for their cultural, architectural, and natural value. The windmills date back to the 16th century, although the first documentary references date back to the 19th century. They are horizontal-axis windmills with movable caps, typical of La Mancha. It is believed that Miguel de Cervantes saw them as a child while passing through the area, drawing inspiration for his work Don Quixote de la Mancha. [turismo.lo...yebenes.es]

The complex consists of four windmills, two of them fully restored, plus a miller's house, also reconstructed. The Tío Zacarías windmill is particularly noteworthy, as it features all the machinery for milling just as it was done in the 16th century. This type of construction is very common in the nearby region of La Mancha.

A work of military architecture that the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem built after Alfonso VIII ceded the old fortifications and the district of Consuegra to the Order. The castle underwent transformations, renovations, and restorations, and its uses adapted to the needs and sociopolitical changes of the time. It enjoyed its splendor during the 13th and 15th centuries, and although it remained inhabited, it suffered a gradual but inexorable process of abandonment until its final decline with the confiscation of church property by Mendizábal in the 19th century. Finally, thanks to the will and perseverance of the inhabitants of Consuegra, the castle was gradually restored to return it to its former splendor. It can be visited Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

It's worth seeing, especially in spring, when the stream is usually full of water and there's a small waterfall.

These were the first windmills of the day, a good climb from the north along a rather broken path. The windmills and the views make it worth the climb to them.
