Cerrillo Viewpoint

The Mirador del Cerrillo viewpoint is located on one of the higher points in the town of Montiel, near the water reservoir. It's a simple but very useful spot to begin or end a visit to the town, as it offers views of the houses, the nearby hillsides, and the visual relationship between the modern town and the surrounding historical landscape.

Its appeal lies in its connection to the landscape. From this vantage point, one gains a deeper understanding of Montiel's position in the Segurilla Valley and its proximity to the hill of La Estrella Castle, a true visual landmark of the town. The area also incorporates the mural on the water reservoir, which transforms a contemporary structure into an element of urban identity and a popular photographic subject.

The visit serves as a brief stop on a tour of Montiel. It doesn't require a long visit, but it helps to orient the area before entering the town center or climbing to the castle. It's especially recommended at sunset, when the light highlights the surrounding landscape and allows you to better appreciate the contrast between the town center, the rural paths, and the hills that define the scenery.
