Villarrobledo, 86 km from the capital, is one of the largest towns in La Mancha, Albacete. It collects in its municipal term the districts of Moharras and Casa de Peñas. It was the 16th century that of its economic and social splendor, as demonstrated by several of the constructions that were made during this century such as the current church of San Blas, several convents and even the Town Hall. All of them are visits of interest. But in addition, it offers an urban complex of wide streets and whitewashed walls in the style of other towns in La Mancha, characteristic of the winery industry that prevails in the area. Its Carnivals deserve special mention, one of the most important in Spain, declared of national tourist interest.

Villarrobledo is a beautiful town. It is famous for its collection of historical heritage in the form of convents, churches, hermitages and cobbled streets. Its carnival attracts more and more visitors. And the Plaza de Ramón y Cajal is the perfect place to have a drink and rest, if you are passing through with your bicycle.

The church of San Blas, from the 15th and 16th centuries, is a beautiful example of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, which has earned it the declaration of a National Monument, a title obtained in 1977. The oldest part of the building is in the Flamboyant Gothic style, executed with great mastery. The rest was built in the purest Renaissance style and with the stamp of Vandelvira. The current temple of San Blas stands on a primitive Gothic church from the mid-15th century, at the end of this century it began to be replaced by a new factory. At the foot are remains of the primitive church, of which its western portal stands out, with a magnificent structure made in the Flamboyant Gothic style and made up of an elegant opening with a pointed arch and very slender shapes.

Building declared an Asset of Cultural Interest with a monumental façade, which is the most outstanding example of Baroque in civil architecture. It is linteled and framed by two superb Corinthian columns that support a beautiful front, very projecting and topped by pinnacles. Above the distil door there is no coat of arms, but an oval stone border or medallion that centers the front and contains a Latin inscription dated 1797. This oval is finished off by a vase topknot. The Téllez House is surrounded by other buildings also declared of Cultural Interest, which make Enrique Arce Street the most monumental in Villarrobledo. At number 3 of this street we find another house with a doorway with outstanding characteristics: lintelled stone, equipped with thick columns and an upper body. In the lower part, its attached pilasters stand out. The upper part rises on a cornice and is flanked by two Doric columns that end in a small triangular pediment. On both sides of the doorway we can find two stone coats of arms and in the center a typical grill.

Beautiful Urban Art route along the Zancara promenade. Between the two bridges is the Paseo del Záncara, which runs parallel to the river of the same name. For a few years it has been filled with murals, thanks to the contribution of the different graffiti artists who have passed through the Comic Fair. On this walk we can see the birds painted by Freskales, presided over by their titans the "Kingfisher" and Howard the Duck (a character from Marvel). Just around the corner we can see other works inspired by the comic and another large mural dedicated to Doctor Mystery.

Imposing large church. It has three architectural styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. It has a privileged location in the square next to the Town Hall.
