Numancia de la Sagra
Village
Numancia de la Sagra is a municipality in the comarca of La Sagra, in the province of Toledo, with 5,674 inhabitants (INE 2025), documented since 1158 under the name Azaña, which it kept until, on 19 October 1936, Francoist forces, under the command of Major Velasco, changed it to Numancia, taken from the regiment that occupied the town, owing to the coincidence of the old place name with the surname of Manuel Azaña, president of the Second Republic. It preserves the hermitage of Santa Juana, built in 1662 on the spot where Sister Juana de la Cruz was born, and the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, and it hosts a brewery that has given its commercial name to the whole comarca.
Hermitage of Santa Juana
Monument
The Santa Juana hermitage, built in 1662 with contributions from local residents on the site where Sor Juana de la Cruz was born and authorized by Archbishop Baltasar Moscoso y Sandoval, is every 9 March the starting point of a pilgrimage to the Monastery of Santa Juana de la Cruz, in Cubas de la Sagra, following the route taken by the young Juana Vázquez as she fled an arranged marriage. Vázquez entered the monastery in 1496 and rose to become its abbess, gaining fame for her gift of preaching, which drew the attention of Emperor Charles V and Cardinal Cisneros; she died in 1534 and Pope Francis approved her beatification in November 2024. The day, also known as tortilla day, has been celebrated since the 16th century.
Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Numancia de la Sagra
Monument
The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is the parish church of Numancia de la Sagra, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin. Its existence as a parish is documented as early as 1846, when Pascual Madoz's geographical dictionary recorded it as the municipality's parish church.
From Azaña to Numancia de la Sagra
Curiosity
On 19 October 1936 Franco's troops changed the town's historic name of Azaña, documented since 1158, for that of the regiment that took the town. The debate about recovering the original place name is still alive.
Festivities of el Santísimo Cristo de la Misericordia
Activity
Festival held on the third Sunday in September in honour of the Santísimo Cristo de la Misericordia.
La Sagra beer
Food and drink
The La Sagra brewery was founded in 2011 in Numancia de la Sagra, taking the name of the comarca where it is bottled; its logotype draws on Don Quixote's basin and the windmills of La Mancha. The plant makes craft beer that has given its commercial name to the whole comarca and is distributed across Spain, under the Sagra brand itself, aimed at the restaurant trade, and under the Burro de Sancho brand, for supermarkets and large retailers. It is characterized by craft production and a Castilian flavour, since all its ingredients are produced in Castile, and it is, despite this, the highest-production Spanish craft beer. It is the most visible example of the shift from an agrarian economy to agri-food industry.
