Borox has been chosen for its efforts to restore the local character to a strategic point of its urban layout that is today, however, degraded. The strategy proposed for the achievement of this objective has been singularly valued: the transformation of the two main public buildings that preside over this area, the Senior Day Center and the Municipal Library, today, they are completely alien to the forms and materials of the place, as well as the reorganising of the public spaces that surround them. These specific interventions could serve as a reference and trigger for subsequent public and private initiatives that were gradually returning to the urban landscape of the municipality, and part of the attraction that has been stolen in recent dates.
The municipality of Borox, 60.33 km², is within Toledo’s Comarca de la Sagra Alta. It sits between three thalwegs located at the top of a valley that descends from the high Sagra plain towards the banks of the Tagus river.
The urban core has an irregular layout, with more or less narrow streets that adapt to the topography and give rise to equally irregular blocks of very different sizes.
The way of the Alhóndiga is the one that in its origin gave rise to the urban centre. Land occupation occurred historically along this road, which since medieval times seems to have been well transitted by travellers from the south of the Tagus to Illescas.
The urban development consolidated this built area, being extended to the north by the lower part of the valley. The lowlands that extend towards the south of the urban centre, where the Borox stream ebbs and flows, accommodate the main cultivational zones.
