What to see and do in Alameda de la Sagra

Alameda de la Sagra
Village
Alameda de la Sagra is a municipality of La Sagra, in Toledo, with 4,350 inhabitants (INE 2025), crossed by the Tagus river and the Guatén stream, with about a dozen archaeological sites ranging from the Chalcolithic to the Islamic period. Its name recalls the poplars along the stream's banks, and La Sagra, from the Arabic for 'cultivated field', refers to the comarca; the place is already cited as a hamlet in documents from 1151 to 1193, belonging from the 12th century to the Church of Toledo. Its origin as a settled community lies in a colony of plasterers from Cobeja, established in the 14th century, whose huts turned into masonry houses from 1530 onward; gypsum extraction has dominated its economy ever since. Its church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción was founded in 1490, and it celebrates the feasts of the Assumption and of San Roque.

In the 18th century, about forty-three thousand two hundred and sixty cahíces of gypsum were fired each year, the white variety selling at 8 reales and the black at 6.5 reales, generating total revenue of 253,200 reales. The gypsum workers dug with blasting charges and picks weighing eight to nine pounds, and stored the goods in caves, where each seller had to wait their turn at the door before selling.
