What to see and do in Pulgar

Pulgar
Village
Pulgar is a municipality of the Montes de Toledo, with 1,608 inhabitants (INE 2025), whose name derives from the Latin pollicaris, referring to the cane left with two or three buds when pruning vines. It was an alquería of the Sisla de Toledo in the 12th century; in 1243 the archbishop of Toledo exchanged it with King Ferdinand III for Baeza and Añover de Tajo, and three years later the king sold it, together with other municipalities of the comarca, to the city of Toledo. Its main historic building is the hermitage of la Soledad, from the 16th century, a landmark of its religious celebrations, besides the parish church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and the Ajofrín bridge. The most deeply rooted date in its festive calendar is the Día de las Meriendas, a countryside pilgrimage held on the first Saturday of May.
Hermitage of la Soledad de Pulgar
Monument
A 16th-century hermitage, one of the few historic buildings preserved in the town and a focal point of its religious celebrations, under the patronage of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad. It stands on the outskirts of the village, to the north; Pascual Madoz's geographical dictionary, in the mid-19th century, already described it as a fairly dilapidated hermitage.
Day of the Picnics of Pulgar
Activity
A day out in the countryside on which local people go out to picnic together, one of the most deeply rooted events in the local festive calendar.
