Almendralejo, located in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, is a city with a rich historical, cultural, and agricultural heritage. Founded after the Reconquista, around the 13th century, by the Order of Santiago. Its name comes from the almond trees that once covered the original site. By the 16th century, it already had a well-established urban structure. In 1513, it received its charter of privileges, which spurred its development.

If you deviate slightly from the N630, near Santos de Maimona, next to the EX-101 road, a construction different from the rest emerges from the fields. It is the work of Don Francisco González Gragera, a retired bricklayer who more than 30 years ago began what today would be the fulfillment of a dream that he outlined years ago on paper. Cotrina's Whim.
