Explore Lucillos through a range of themes: the Sendero de Brugel, a circular route through the countryside, and the architectural and artistic history surrounding the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and the Casa de don Clemente Palencia Flores. There are also festivals with specific dates and programmes that change from year to year. To help you plan, first consider whether you would rather focus your stay on outdoor activities, historical details or a festival date.
Sendero de Brugel and the Landscape
The Sendero de Brugel is north of Lucillos and is a circular route. It passes through farmland, pastureland and dehesas, reaching an area near the Alberche River. Along the way, it reveals a rural side of the surrounding area, where cultivated land and pasture shape the route. If you would like to include a hike in your stay, this circular route offers a specific itinerary through several types of landscape. The Sendero crosses the A-5 through a tunnel; this crossing is part of the route. Check conditions before setting out, as they may change.
There is a route commonly used for cycling in Lucillos. On 4 April 2025, a temporary route change applied to the Ruta Cicloturística. The route and conditions may vary from one edition to another. If you plan to make the bike ride a fixed part of your itinerary, check the current route for the relevant date.
Architecture and Art in Lucillos
The parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción has a simple brick tower from the Mudéjar period. The church also houses a 16th-century altarpiece attributed to an unknown artist from the Castilian-Toledan school. These are two distinct features: the tower’s simple design and an altarpiece with a clear historical date but an unknown artist. If you are interested in architecture and religious art, these details offer specific points of interest.
Another place to look is the Casa de don Clemente Palencia Flores, built in 1903. A carved coat of arms can be seen on the house and is believed to be more than 120 years old. The house and the church offer different points of focus: the building date and coat of arms here, the tower and altarpiece there. These specific features give the town’s history more definition than a general description of architectural styles.
Festivals as a Possible Reason to Visit
Festivals may also play a part in choosing when to travel. The Cristo de la Toza festival includes 14 September, lasts three or four days, and features a mass, competitions and open-air dances. The San Antonio festival is held on 13 June and lasts two days. The programme may vary from year to year. So, if you want to plan your stay around a festival, check the current dates and programme before travelling.
Putting the Landscape in Context
The Natura 2000 site ZEC Sotos del río Alberche ES4250014 also lies within the municipality of Lucillos. It is a distinct feature of the municipality’s landscape; the Sendero de Brugel, by contrast, is a specific route that leads to an area near the Alberche. This distinction helps put the two nature-related topics in context: the circular route is a possible activity, while the protected area is another way in which the municipality is connected to its landscape.
