In the Alcudia Valley, we find the municipality of Almodóvar del Campo built on the side of a volcano, so present in Campo de Calatrava, and whose crater is now a lagoon. The Arab footprint is the most emblematic of the city, leaving behind the memory of the Castle and above all the unique Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption. There you can see the first videomapping in Spain permanently installed in a closed space, under the theme of the life and work of San Juan de Ávila.
