Matalasbestias

Highlight • Trail

Excellent environment to breathe fresh air and suffer a bit with the slopes. There are different accesses cut from Cr-7111.

The origin of the town and its name is attributed to the existence of a house in the middle of the mountain, whose first inhabitants dedicated themselves to charcoal for sale, or piconcillo. Around the town, thirteen ancient towers or castros have been located, fortresses and houses of primitive settlers, the most relevant being the so-called Plaza de Armas de Picón Viejo. As for its heritage, it is worth noting the Church of El Salvador, from the 15th century, the Hermitage of San Isidro, and the House of the Town Hall from the 16th century.

Parish Church of Porzuna

Highlight • Religious Site

Porzuna was a Roman and Visigoth settlement, and it is from these civilizations that historical remains have been found. The first settlers of the region are probably from the Lower and Middle Paleolithic according to the archaeological remains found. Most of these can be found in the Ciudad Real museum.

Porzuna

Highlight • Settlement

Its term is crossed in a North-South direction by the Bullaque River and located in the so-called "Estados del Duque" communal area.
Of great interest is its parish church, in the urban center, Gothic, with a rectangular plan, declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1993.
There are also several hermitages, the Hermitage of San Isidro, the Hermitage of the Cruz de Mayo, the Hermitage of Cristo de Veracruz located on an old volcano) and the Hermitage of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Nearby is the Natural Monument of the Cerro de Los Santos Volcano.
I recommend visiting El Silo.
