Chumillas is a small town of the county of Cuenca (Spain). It counts with less than 20 inhabitants in winter (INE 2005), being able to arrive at the 200 in summer.Still continuous the tradition of the mataz贸n, although nowadays there is not nobody that raises pigs neither the mat茅, but they are continued making the riqu铆simos sausages and puddings characteristic of the earth.
Their more important monuments are Torrej贸n (or The Tower) and The Church. It is said that The Tower is one of the eight villages that formerly existed and in the one that the town of Chumillas settled down.
From the 2005 bill with an eolic park located in their term that provides him/her halfway a future vision between the old thing and the modern thing.

Gothic Colegiata of the XV century: built on a Visigothic previous church. It highlights the seat of the choir, of the XV century, carved with biblical histories by Enrique Egas and coming from the Cathedral of Cuenca (of where it was brought in the XVIII century, when in the cathedral they changed it); it is the first choir seat carved with images of the whole Iberian peninsula. Pos茅e an organ of the XVIII century still used for some celebrations and concerts of sacred music. In the baptismal pile Brother was baptized Luis from Le贸n. Some altarpieces of the XVI and XVII are interesting.
