Plaza de la Lagunilla

This quiet square owes its name to the usual presence of water and ponds due to the water spilling from the wells, as the Colodro stream flows underground on its way to the river. The garden around the bust of Manolete presides over the square. It was erected there shortly after the bullfighter’s death in 1947, as Manolete and his mother lived for some years in this square, in a small house that has now been demolished.

Opposite the square, the small, immaculate chapel dedicated to the martyrs San Acisclo and Santa Victoria is well worth a visit, built where tradition has it that the saints lived in their childhood with their wet nurse Minciana.
