This is where you can see the most impressive row of windmills in Spain, made famous by Cervantes in his novel, Don Quijote. The views over the plain of La Mancha from here are magnificent. Come during the Saffron Festival (26-28 October) and you'll see how this valuable spice and colourant is extracted from the flower as well as demonstrations of folkore and wheat being milled. Alongside the windmills there's a castle where medieval battles between Moors and Christians are re-enacted every year (11-13 August).
