El Robledo and its landscape: a short history
- From the 11th century – Livestock routes such as the Cañada Real Toledana, a branch of which passes El Robledo, are used by shepherds moving their flocks between summer and winter pastures.
- 1950s–1960s – Settlers of Santa Quiteria clear and plough fields on the plains, giving the area its present mix of cereal farming and grazing.
- 1988 – The Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha declares Cabañeros a natural park, after wide public pressure to stop it becoming an army training ground.
- 1995 – Cabañeros is declared a national park.
- Every 31 December – El Robledo marks its Día del Río, a winter swim in the Bullaque to celebrate the return of the river’s flow.
El Robledo lies at 646 m above sea level in the valley where the Alcobilla meets the Bullaque, in the north-west of the province. Its municipality covers 111 km² and includes the hamlets of Las Islas, Las Tablillas, Navalrincón and Navalajarra, with 1,078 inhabitants in 2025. The Junta de los Ríos, where the two rivers meet, has long been a place for spring and summer outings, and the Bullaque is one of the few rivers in Castilla-La Mancha that still supports a notable otter population.
The patron festival for the Virgen del Prado runs from 13 to 19 August, with a procession on the 15th, and on the first Saturday of May a pilgrimage takes the image of the Virgen de Fátima to the hermitage. Traditional dishes follow the cooking of La Mancha: migas, pisto, lamb caldereta, and game dishes such as partridge and wild boar.
