The Tablas de Daimiel are a wetland that is practically unique in Europe and the last representative of the ecosystem known as river tables, once characteristic of the central plain of our Peninsula. It is a complex ecosystem that combines the characteristics of a flood plain, produced by the overflow of the Guadiana and Gigüela rivers at their confluence, with those of an area of discharge of groundwater from a large aquifer.

On the right bank of the river next to the bridge is the Carrillo Mill, named after its first owner. It is a construction from 1713, made with masonry walls and thick cylindrical buttresses, covered with wooden trusses and curved tiles that preserve the original machinery.

The original church was built between the 15th and 16th centuries. Located near the Camino Real de la Plata and behind the missing Castle, it was the only parish in Malagón until 1962, the year in which a new parish was erected with the name of Santa Teresa de Jesús. The current church preserves its original layout: three-nave floor plan, apse and central pilasters. The dome that tops the transept has been replaced by a modern lantern that illuminates the transept and the presbytery.
