Consuegra is a municipality located in the province of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. According to the 2006 (6 years ago) census (INE), the municipality has a population of 10,538 inhabitants. It is 80 km from Ciudad Real and 60 km from Toledo. The principal economy sector is agriculture. The industry is predominated by textile and wood. The castle and the windmills are Consuegra's most important monuments. Most Spanish windmills, like those described in Cervantes's Don Quixote, can be found in the province of La Mancha in central Spain. The best examples of restored Spanish windmills may be found in Consuegra where several mills spike the hill just outside of town, giving us a spectacular view of the 12th century castle and of the town. The castle was once a stronghold when Consuegra was the seat and priory of the Knights of San Juan, the Spanish branch of the Knight's Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Windmills are also located in Mota del Cuervo, Tomelloso, and Campo de Criptana.
