Alcázar de San Juan is one of the most interesting destinations in the heart of La Mancha, with a blend of history, heritage, nature, and Cervantine traditions. Its name comes from the Military Order of Saint John, which dominated the area after the Reconquista. It claims to be the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, as the baptismal font where, according to some studies, the writer was baptized is preserved in the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor. It was an important railway junction and economic center in the 19th and 20th centuries, which shaped its urban development.

The Herencia Windmills are an essential part of the heritage of this town in La Mancha. Initially built in 1790, these mills were an economical and practical solution to the scarcity of water in the region.

It has around 200 houses, clean streets and a medium-sized square. The parish church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. Despite its ruggedness, the district of Cuevas de Velasco has a good plain, fertilized by the Mayor River, which powers a flour mill.

Courage that with persistence you rise. It is worse to go up through Verdelpino or Valdecolmenas. This one is shorter.
