Around the natural sites, we can visit the sites found from the Copper Age and the Bronze Age, where ceramics and the use of amber and ivory stand out.

Currently, the city is declared a National Historical Site, thanks to the wealth of its religious and civil constructions. Among the most representative temples we find the Church of San Andrés Apostol and the Convent of the Dominicans, followed by the Trinidad and Santo Domingo. You can even see the House of the Inquisition, of which only the façade remains. Within the civil places, the Plaza Mayor and the Alhóndiga are the two most recognized enclaves. Next to the Casas de Comedias and Arco, there are the Palaces of Rebuelta, Melgarejo and Ballesteros. In addition, honoring our name, we will visit the House of the Knight of the Green Coat.
Lovers of historical tourism will find a treasure in Villanueva de los Infantes. It was a strategic place in the War of Independence, being under French rule for two years before proclaiming the first Spanish Constitution. With the arrival of the Regent María Cristina, it saw how its title of Villa was reduced, until it was granted the name of City. Recently, it was discovered that this town is that famous "Place of La Mancha" that Cervantes spoke of in Don Quixote.
Our guided routes through the city can be combined with the excursion to the Las Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park or the visit to the Real Mari Sánchez Winery.
