Consuegra is a beautiful municipality within the province of Castile-La Mancha, located approximately an hour from the city of Toledo within the La Mancha region. The lovely region is noted as one of Spain's top wine growing regions, home to spacious vineyards that source grapes for many area wineries. Stunning Spanish-style windmills recall the scenery of Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote, many of which were constructed in the 12th century and are still used to grind grain and wheat.
The preserved Castle of Consuegra fortress, originally constructed by Emperor Trajan, once served as a stronghold when the region was the priory of the Knights of San Juan. Visitors can also explore the region's lovely town hall and major square, which showcases spectacular Renaissance-style architecture. Each year, the region hosts annual festivals such as the Rose of Saffron, which highlights a culinary competition. Map
