The "La Unión" windmill was originally known as "El Viejo" (The Old One), but after a fire at the end of the 19th century, its name was changed to La Unión (The Union), thanks to the numerous financial contributions from the residents of Camuñas that facilitated its reconstruction. The machinery was acquired in Campo de Criptana from an old mill that was already in disuse, so although the machinery we can admire today is not the original, its age is evident in the details of its workmanship. During the reconstruction, it underwent several changes, giving the building more interior space. Although the interior diameter was maintained, the reed roof was replaced with a zinc one.

After the tourist office...a beautiful mill to visit inside...with a video explaining its wonderful mechanism.

A work of military architecture that the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem built after Alfonso VIII ceded the old fortifications and the district of Consuegra to the Order. The castle underwent transformations, renovations, and restorations, and its uses adapted to the needs and sociopolitical changes of the time. It enjoyed its splendor during the 13th and 15th centuries, and although it remained inhabited, it suffered a gradual but inexorable process of abandonment until its final decline with the confiscation of church property by Mendizábal in the 19th century. Finally, thanks to the will and perseverance of the inhabitants of Consuegra, the castle was gradually restored to return it to its former splendor. It can be visited Monday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

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.

The known as Don Quixote route extends throughout the region through multiple variants that give life to this character created by Miguel de Cervantes, this is one of them with spectacular landscapes.

Camuñas has an Interpretation Center for the Corpus Christi Sins and Dancers festival. Installed in a modern building made of exposed concrete and textured in ocher color, it is perfectly integrated into the hamlet that surrounds it. Oral tradition says that a former hospital of the Order of Malta was located on the site now occupied by the current building; We know of its existence from the Relations of Philip II and the Ensenada Cadastre and, although we do not know its location in documents, it does not seem unreasonable to think that it was located at the beginning of the emblematic La Tercia street, at the other end of which is the Parish of Nª Sª de la Asunción, hosting between both buildings the final and most impressive section of the Corpus Christi procession.

Approaching Camuñas is discovering a town in La Mancha where the neighbors seem to not want to forget the way they built their houses, with whitewashed facades and gates for storing agricultural implements. Its population does not reach 2,000 inhabitants and it proudly displays its signs of identity: its Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the Hermitage of the Vera Cruz, the "La Unión" windmill and its Pecados y Danzantes, of Corpus Christi.

It was founded in 1612, thanks to the intervention of the neighborhood, and was completed in 1619. Its greatest benefactors were Mrs. María Cervantes Gallego and D. Juan de Mayorga and its construction is attributed to Juan Bautista Monegro. It was inhabited by reformed Franciscan monks and the church was entrusted to Saint Peter and the Immaculate Conception. In 1769, the chapel of the Third Order was added, built at the expense of Dª Úrsula Mayorga Cervantes, whose shield is preserved above the door. Starting in 1833, the convent suffered the disentailment process that meant the disappearance of the Franciscan community, passing into state hands that turned it into the headquarters of the Judicial Party of Madridejos, placing its offices and prison there. The chapel became a children's school and the teacher's home. Over the years the building has been used for various uses, Investigative Court, prison, school, warehouse, etc., until in the 70s a group of volunteers began its restoration to use it as a House of Culture. Today the Church houses the image of the patron saint of Madridejos, Our Lady of Valdehierro, and the convent houses the Saffron and Ethnological Museum as well as the Tourist Information Point.
