Calambur Experience

Calambur Experience wants to show you the beauty that Villanueva de los Infantes treasures by visiting it with its guided tours. This small town located in Ciudad Real has a rich and influential history in the future of the history of Spain. Walking through its streets and focusing on its squares and the most representative buildings, we will be able to enter the Medieval Era, where this Villa enjoyed its maximum splendor. Starting point of Don Quixote and the 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 the Lagunas de Ruidera , declared a Natural Park, and the Campo de Montiel places. Precisely, in its fields is where it resides in the origin of excellent wines such as Valdepeñas, which you can taste accompanied by the delicious gastronomy of La Mancha.

Our visit lasts 2 hours in which we will discover religious and civil buildings that have been preserved to this day. We start at the Plaza Mayor, a place where the City Council meets the emblazoned houses. 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 the Church 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 , current House of Culture. This building has seen how its utility evolved over time, from a wheat warehouse to the contracting house. In 1719 it became a prison, and the poster that says so is still preserved. Next, we will arrive at the Casa del Arco and the Palacio de Melgarejo, without overlooking the Casa del Caballero Verde Gabán . This site was the home of the Society of Jesus and, according to its biographer Astrana Marín, the place where Miguel de Cervantes began to write the second part of Don Quixote.
