The monuments and centers of cultural interest are spread throughout its streets: the Palermo Museum, the Casa-Convent of La Merced, current home of the Hieronymite nuns, in a modernist style and dating back to the 19th century. Continuing the visit you can visit the Cervantina Library, inside which countless editions of Don Quixote are collected, in various languages, formats and periods, as well as canvases and drawings related to the Cervantine character. From here you can also see the Municipal Theater, built in 1845 on the site of the old Carmelite Convent.

In the Alcudia Valley, we find the municipality of Almodóvar del Campo built on the side of a volcano, so present in Campo de Calatrava, and whose crater is now a lagoon. The Arab footprint is the most emblematic of the city, leaving behind the memory of the Castle and above all the unique Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption. There you can see the first videomapping in Spain permanently installed in a closed space, under the theme of the life and work of San Juan de Ávila.

At the entrance to the town Cabezarrubias del Puerto we can see this small stone construction with a broom (straw) roof. In the past, shepherds and farmers used this type of shelter to protect themselves from rain and cold. Nearby is also an old laundry room.

Puertollano is a Spanish town in the province of Ciudad Real, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. Traditionally, it has been associated with oil shale and coal mining and industry. The area in which Puertollano is located has been inhabited since prehistory, with archaeological remains found that correspond to Homo heidelbergensis and Homo antecessor. During the Middle Ages the city was born, linked to the repopulation process of Castile during the 13th century. In the 16th century, Puertollano received the rank of town, a privilege granted by Philip II. At that time Puertollano was an important agricultural and livestock center. The demographic consolidation of the city occurred at the end of the 19th century, with the development of coal mining and the inauguration of the train line between Madrid and Badajoz. Its cultural heritage It corresponds mainly to religious buildings, such as the church of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad (14th century), the church of the Virgen de Gracia (15th century) and the church of the Asunción (16th century). There is also a mining museum, and an old medicinal sour water spa, known as the Bath House, which today is a municipal service to citizens.

Immense valley that stretches over 100 kilometers in length and that, in addition, is on the border between the two provinces where the Río Valdeazogues crosses.
