Consuegra is located in La Mancha region, famous for its extensive dry plains, vineyards and historical constructions such as windmills.
Most Spanish windmills, like those described in Miguel de Cervantes' early 17th century novel Don Quixote, can be found in the community of Castilla-La Mancha, in central Spain.
Windmills are also located in Mota del Cuervo, Tomelloso, and Campo de Criptana.
In this battle, the Castilian army was defeated by the Almoravids under the command of Yusuf ibn Tashfin, which temporarily brought Consuegra back under Arab rule.
The introduction of the windmills into the local region was made by a "Caballeros Sanjuanistas", who brought these machines that helped millers to grind wheat.
These windmills are all located on a small mountain range south of the town, known as Cerro Calderico, that also hosts Castle of La Muela.
The town hall is in Renaissance style and it is located at the major square, called "Plaza de España".
In this square is the building called "Los Corredores" (17th century), which is a typical structure of La Mancha and which was an old townhall.
It is divided into several sections: the grain of wheat in Sancho's windmill, the choosing of a "Dulcinea" by the townsfolk, and a gastronomic competition.
