Description

If you are in Madrid and want to discover one of the most charming villages of Castilla-La Mancha, this excursion is for you! We will meet at the appointed time at our departure point for our adventure to Consuegra, famous for being the home of the emblematic windmills that inspired Cervantes so much. We will travel comfortably by minibus to this picturesque town in the province of Toledo. Upon arrival, we will make a brief stop at Consuegra's Plaza de España, where you will have free time to have breakfast or enjoy the local atmosphere. Then, we will start the guided visit to the Cerro Calderico, the place where the well-known windmills of Consuegra are located. Here, you can admire these gigantic structures and learn about the history behind them - did you know that Don Quixote mistook them for giants in his famous adventure? During the tour, you will also discover how these La Mancha landscapes inspired Miguel de Cervantes in the creation of his most famous work. After exploring the hill, we will visit the interior of Molino Rucio, one of the most representative mills of the place. Through this experience, you will learn how they worked at the time and their historical importance in the region. The next point of our excursion will be the **Castillo de la Muela**, an impressive medieval fortress that stands on top of a hill. The castle has a fascinating history, being a key stronghold during the Reconquest thanks to its strategic location. You will have free time to explore at your leisure its outbuildings, walls and enjoy the panoramic views of the area. After the visit to the castle, we will return to Madrid, where we will arrive at the meeting point, putting an end to a five-hour excursion full of history, culture and unforgettable landscapes.
