The hermitage of San Isidro is more than a small church built after the Civil War. It is a large pine forest where you can enjoy a good picnic with family and friends. It has picnic areas and swings for children. It's not a bad place to walk from the town but it's also very nice by bike.

Campo de Criptana Windmills

Highlight • Monument

These iconic mills are symbols of Campo de Criptana and all of Castilla-La Mancha. Its blades preside over the life of the town of La Mancha from above. The mills are of the “tower” type, built in masonry and whitewashed with lime. They have a circular plan pierced with small windows, which served as a guide for the orientation of the wind. This indicated where to turn the conical cover so that its blades could take advantage of the wind as desired. Each mill has three floors: the upper one with the grinding stones and the lower ones for storage and packaging.
The oldest mills, such as the Sardinero, Burleta and Infante, have been standing since the 16th century and preserve their original mechanism. There are also more modern mills, such as the Inca Garcilaso, the Cariari, the Vicente Huidobro, the Pilón, the Lagarto, the Culebro and the Poyatos, which date back to 1900. Currently, some of these mills can be visited, such as the Molino Infante, the Burleta, the Culebro (which houses the Sara Montiel Museum), the Quimera (which houses the town's Holy Week Museum) and the Poyatos Mill (current tourist information point). The others are closed to the public.
I hope you enjoy exploring these iconic windmills! 😊

Windmills of Alcázar de San Juan

Highlight • Monument

The four windmills of Alcázar de San Juan are located on the San Antón hill.

These mills are famous for the names of two of them: Dulcinea, the female character to whom Don Quixote dedicates all his exploits, and Rocinante, Don Quixote's horse.
