Puertollano

Highlight • Settlement

Puertollano is a Spanish town in the province of Ciudad Real, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. Traditionally, it has been associated with oil shale and coal mining and industry. The area in which Puertollano is located has been inhabited since prehistory, with archaeological remains found that correspond to Homo heidelbergensis and Homo antecessor. During the Middle Ages the city was born, linked to the repopulation process of Castile during the 13th century. In the 16th century, Puertollano received the rank of town, a privilege granted by Philip II. At that time Puertollano was an important agricultural and livestock center. The demographic consolidation of the city occurred at the end of the 19th century, with the development of coal mining and the inauguration of the train line between Madrid and Badajoz. Its cultural heritage It corresponds mainly to religious buildings, such as the church of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad (14th century), the church of the Virgen de Gracia (15th century) and the church of the Asunción (16th century). There is also a mining museum, and an old medicinal sour water spa, known as the Bath House, which today is a municipal service to citizens.

Puertollano

Highlight • Settlement

Located at the foot of the Monument to the Miner, an imposing bronze sculpture, the work of Pepe Noja, which represents the mining history of the city, borders the volcanic area of Campo de Calatrava and in its vicinity is the Valley of Alcudia. Mining activity is of special importance with the Mining Museum, a building that surrounds an old headframe and simulates a coal selection workshop. On its two floors, the museum discourse addresses the transformation of Puertollano into an industrial city due to the discovery of coal.
The mining tradition of this town is very present in its different corners, such as the Castillete de Santa María, which welcomes its visitors at the entrance to the city. It is also worth seeing the Monument to the Miner, mentioned above and located on the Cerro de Santa Ana, from which we will obtain a fantastic panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.

This dam creates the Montorillo Reservoir which was built in 1950. It controls the Montoro River so local communities and businesses have a safe source of water year-round. It also creates a good habitat for different birds and fish. The area around the reservoir is rural and creates a great area for mountain biking.
