La Nava de Enmedio is one of three lagoons of volcanic origin that form part of the lagoon complex known as Las Navas de Malagón, located in the municipality of Malagón, in Ciudad Real. This protected natural area also includes Nava Grande and Nava Chica. These lagoons are seasonal and their salinity varies, which contributes to their high biological diversity. The area is especially important for the wintering of aquatic birds, including endangered species such as the white-headed duck.

Located on Camino Almagro Street. Staying hydrated during your routes is always good. You can purify water with portable filters. 💧🏞️🚠

The Malvecinos bridge is located in the northwestern quadrant of the municipality of Carrión de Calatrava, at km 6,500 of the CR-211 provincial highway that goes from Carrión to Fernán Caballero. Since the Middle Ages, its dam-bridge was one of the most notable historical passages of the Guadiana River in this area, forming part of the route of the Cañada Real de la Plata. Unfortunately, its current state is critical due to the uncontrolled growth of vegetation, which has made urgent intervention necessary for its conservation and to avoid its ruin. The Tablas de Calatrava Naturalist Association has promoted a rehabilitation project in four phases to preserve this historical heritage. We hope that this unique enclave in Alto Guadiana can be protected and restored! 🌉🌿

The Valle de los Molinos Dam in Castilla-La Mancha. It is a very quiet place and suitable for going with children or simply to take a walking route that lasts approximately 8 km from the village of Cristo del Espíritu Santo. A beautiful and mut environment near the Fuente la Teja.

The Christ of the Holy Spirit in Malagón is a place of great importance. The municipal area of Malagón includes several villages, such as La Fuencaliente, Valdehierro, Las Peralosas, Piedralá, Las Povedillas, El Sotillo, Los Quiles and, of course, El Cristo del Espíritu Santo. In addition to the sanctuary, you can explore other architectural gems, such as the Carrillo mill and the manor houses with neo-Mudejar facades. 😊

The Sanctuary of Christ of the Holy Spirit is located in Malagón, in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha. Access to the sanctuary is easy thanks to the N-401 highway, which connects Toledo and Ciudad Real. The architectural complex dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries and is organized around a central patio with wooden porticoed galleries. The sanctuary church houses a baroque altarpiece and a canvas of the “Ecce Homo” from the 16th century. Additionally, outside the church, you will find a Roman funerary stele from the 1st century.
