Walking through its streets and focusing on its squares and the most representative buildings, we can delve into the Medieval Era, where this Villa enjoyed its maximum splendor. Starting point of Don Quixote and Francisco de Quevedo cemetery, Villanueva is one of the most culturally attractive towns.

Nature lovers will also find their expectations fulfilled, since they can visit theLagunas de Ruidera, declared a Natural Park, and the places of Campo de Montiel. Precisely, its fields are where the origin of excellent wines such as Valdepeñas lies, which you can taste accompanied by the delicious La Mancha gastronomy.

Our visit lasts 2 hours in which we will discover religious and civil buildings that have been preserved to this day. We start in the Plaza Mayor, where the Town Hall meets the emblazoned mansions. In the southern part of the square, we find the wooden balustrades supported by footings, elements of great visual richness that had to be rebuilt after the War of Independence.

We will continue through theChurch of San Andrés, where the remains of Franciso de Quevedo rest. The writer moved to this city when he was already seriously ill. Of Gothic art, it is the prelude to a civil building such as La Alhóndiga, the current House of Culture. This building has seen its usefulness evolve over time, from a wheat warehouse to a contracting house. In 1719 it became a prison, and the sign that says so is still preserved. Next, we will arrive at the Casa del Arco and the Melgarejo Palace, without overlooking the House of the Green Knight Gabán. This location was the home of the Society of Jesus and, according to his biographer Astrana Marín, the place where Miguel de Cervantes began writing the second part of Don Quixote.
