The best traffic-free bike rides around Calzada De Calatrava

The Hermitage of the Virgen de los Santos is a place of worship and devotion on the hill that bears its name, near the town of Pozuelo de Calatrava. It is a construction from the 15th or 16th century, with a Mudejar roof and a baroque altarpiece that houses the image of the patron saint. The sanctuary is located on a magical and once strategic pointy mountain, and its white and luminous architecture stands out in the landscape.

This church, which dates back to the 17th century, preserves the typical structure of the area, maintaining an exterior uniformity that coincides with the majority of religious temples. It is worth visiting.

The so-called “hotbeds” are one of the most common phenomena in the Calatrava region, as a consequence of its intense volcanic activity. A unique spectacle that, together with sour springs, maares, wells, and jets or sinas, are part of the history of the region and that the Association for the Development of Campo de Calatrava tries to preserve and make known outside its borders.

The water reserves in the Vega del Jabalón reservoir, one of the two that is already considered a dead reservoir, are practically nil. This swamp, which can store 33.54 cubic hectometres (hm3), currently has only 0.2 hm3, which is below the cubic hectometre, which is the minimum exploitation level set by the CHG.

Beautiful environment to enjoy nature and views of the Jabalón River.

Silo decorated with modern paintings, to give it originality. It is a huge construction from the beginning of the 20th century intended to store the grain (wheat or barley) from the harvest.

This hermitage is believed to have been founded at the beginning of the 17th century, as a sign of the great faith and devotion of its citizens towards the Holy Trinity, demonstrated through wills, memory foundations and chaplaincies, always including the same phrase "in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three persons, one true God". Hermitage located on the road to Sta. Cruz de Mudela. It was run and assisted by the Trinitarian fathers, who in turn depended on the convent of the Holy Trinity in the town of Membrilla. During the 19th century it was forgotten and left in a dilapidated state. Don Santiago Julio Maldonado y Maldonado-Cisneros, law graduate, natural and resident of the town, in his will when he died on December 10, 1886, ordered that the Hermitage of the Santísima Trinidad y San Antón be rebuilt at his expense, where the mortal remains of the testate, of his deceased parents (D. Santiago Maldonado Treviño and Dª María Antonia Maldonado Cisneros), of his wife (Dª Pilar Forcallo y Morales) and other successors in the board of trustees, ordered the construction of a building immediately next to the Hermitage of San Antón (Santísima Trinidad), which will have the shape and proportions of the plan, whose building would be used as a Hospital for the poor, and the family designated by their heirs must reside in it, in order to attend to its conservation and cleaning and whose family should be natural and neighbor of the Villa.

This town is located in the valley of the Jabalón river, a tributary of the Guadiana on its left bank. In addition, its municipal term is part of the center of the province. It is characterized by having a landscape with a great presence, especially in the cool mountains of the southwest with gall oaks, pine forests and streams, and in the west, in the area known as the valley, with the presence of rebollos, strawberry trees, heather. Therefore, we will find richness and natural diversity throughout its term. In the urban nucleus is the Palacio de Clavería from the 16th century, home to the clavero, the person who guarded the keys to the Convent of Calatrava. Other religious constructions are the Church of San Jorge Mártir and the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Valle.
