La Roda

La Roda stands at 716 meters above sea level, featuring narrow streets and ancestral houses within its historical center, located 40 kilometers from Albacete.

Archaeological findings reveal ancient settlements dating back to Celtiberian and Roman periods, with the town receiving its lands from King Ferdinand IV in 1305.

The Church of El Salvador, constructed in Renaissance style during the 16th century, displays an impressive altarpiece and holds designation as a Cultural Property.

The municipality functions as a transportation hub, connecting southeastern Spain through the intersection of AP-36 toll highway and A-31 road network.

Local pastry makers produce miguelitos, a regional specialty combining puff pastry with custard that has become the culinary symbol of La Roda.
