Consuegra is a picturesque town located in the province of Toledo, in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. It is renowned for its iconic windmills, which are famously referenced in Miguel de Cervantes' novel "Don Quixote." These whitewashed windmills, perched on a hill known as Cerro Calderico, offer stunning panoramic views of the surrounding plains and are a major attraction for visitors. In addition to the windmills, Consuegra is home to the impressive Consuegra Castle, a medieval fortress with a rich history dating back to the 10th century. The town also hosts vibrant cultural events and festivals, such as the annual Consuegra Medieval Festival, which recreates historical battles and offers a glimpse into the region's past.
