What to see and do in Yeles

Yeles
Village
Yeles is a municipality in the comarca of La Sagra, in the province of Toledo, whose origin is linked to the confluence of the río Guatén and its tributary the Bohadilla in the time of the Celts, with Roman, Visigothic and Mozarabic remains as well. Its name first appears in 1186, on the occasion of the donation of Esquivias by Alfonso VIII to the Church of Toledo. It had barely 78 inhabitants in the mid-19th century, compared with the current 6,514 (INE 2025). In 1879 the Madrid-Ciudad Real railway line opened, giving Yeles its own station until its closure in 1988. Its main religious building is the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. Since 2004 it has had a Music School, from which the current Banda Municipal de Yeles emerged in 2006.

The railway station of Yeles
Curiosity
The Yeles y Esquivias station, which served both municipalities in the province of Toledo, was in operation between 1879 and 1988, at kilometre point 35.906 of the Iberian-gauge Madrid-Ciudad Real line. Built by the Compañía de los Caminos de Hierro de Ciudad Real a Badajoz, it had a small passenger building and several service tracks, around which a residential neighbourhood grew up; in 1910 a Cementos Portland factory was set up nearby, connected to the station by its own branch line. Nationalised in 1941 along with the rest of the Iberian-gauge network, the station closed in January 1988 when the Nuevo Acceso Ferroviario a Andalucía was built, and the track was eventually demolished and lifted.
