The council of this small and quiet town has carried out an interesting and exhaustive job of documenting the origin of the names of the town's streets, some of which are a perfect reflection of the town's history and customs. All this archive can be found on its website and it is worth taking a walk through its streets reading its history.

Torrijos has an enormous architectural heritage, among which it is worth highlighting the train station, the parish church (with a very old organ and elements brought from Medina Azahara), the palace of Pedro I or even its more contemporary Center for the Elderly.

Still on the arid plateau but close to the exuberant Vega del Tajo is this town, proud to be the birthplace of the author Fernando de Rojas, to whom the Celestina Museum is dedicated. It is worth, at least, going through its main square.
