How to get to the Lagunas de Ruidera with a private driver from Ciudad Real
Fifteen linked lagoons between Ciudad Real and Albacete, with viewpoints spread along twenty-five kilometres of road. It is a place for stopping as you go, and that does not exist on public transport: either you rent a car or you go with a driver and stop wherever you like.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better by the hour or as a return trip?
By the hour, almost always. The point of the place is stopping at several spots, and a single return trip to one lagoon leaves the rest out. Four or five hours covers the upper and lower lagoons properly.
Do you go in winter too?
Yes, and that is when the waterfalls look best. In summer the road and the car parks fill up by midday, so leaving early changes the day completely.
