La Mancha & Don Quijote Route

The former Spanish capital is a UNESCO World Heritage city, known as the 'City of Three Cultures', with an impressive cathedral, synagogues, and mosques.

The hills of Consuegra are dotted with an iconic row of windmills and a castle that seem to come straight from Cervantes' 'Don Quijote'.

Welcome to Campo de Criptana, the heart of wind-swept Mancha, where time seems to stand still and the legendary windmills majestically tower over the landscape. Here, in this picturesque village in Castile-La Mancha, you immerse yourself in the world of Don Quijote and experience an authentic Spanish atmosphere that invites you to dream and explore. Let yourself be enchanted by the historic setting that already inspired Cervantes, and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of this unique region.

Almagro, a historic town in the Castile-La Mancha region, captivates with its unique charm and well-preserved cultural heritage. At the heart of the town lies the impressive Plaza Mayor, a rectangular square with arcades and green wooden galleries, inviting visitors to linger. An absolute highlight is the 17th-century Corral de Comedias, the only largely original Golden Age theatre still used for performances today. You'll also find the National Theatre Museum and the magnificent Palacio de los Fúcares, formerly the residence of the German Fugger family. The town is also renowned for its traditional lace-making. Ideally, visit Almagro during the International Classical Theatre Festival in July to experience its vibrant cultural scene firsthand.

This breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage city is famous for its 'hanging houses' (Casas Colgadas), spectacularly perched on the cliffs above the Huécar River.
