The complete windmill route: Consuegra, Alcázar, Campo de Criptana and Mota del Cuervo
The four windmill hills of La Mancha in one day, with car and driver: you leave Toledo, stop at Consuegra, Alcázar de San Juan, Campo de Criptana and Mota del Cuervo, and finish in Madrid. From Madrid, the high-speed train reaches Toledo in half an hour and the day ends where it began. Eleven hours of car with driver; the car waits at every stop.

What is included
- Eleven hours of car with driver, with the four stops and their waiting time inside the contracted time.
- 10 % VAT included in the published amount.
- Child seat on request, at no extra cost.
- Route sheet issued before departure, with the driver's name and the number plate.
What is not included
- —Tickets for the windmills that can be visited and for Consuegra castle: they are paid on site and each town hall or tourist office sets the opening times by season.
- —An official guide. The driver drives; they are not a guide and we do not claim otherwise.
- —Meals. The Alcázar de San Juan stop leaves time for lunch, but the restaurant is chosen and paid for by the traveller.
What could change the amount
- Going beyond the eleven contracted hours: each extra hour is charged at the tariff's hourly rate, and is agreed before it starts.
- Night pickup (22:00-6:00), on a Sunday or a public holiday: the tariff surcharge applies and it is shown in the breakdown before you confirm.
- Dropping one stop does not lower the price: the eleven hours are the service. Dropping two does: then it is “Don Quixote's windmills”, ten hours.
Why it ends in a different town
A Spanish VTC licence covers intercity transport: a service that starts and ends in the same town is reserved for licensed taxis. That is why we do not offer round trips back to the starting point, even though others sell them: better said here than refused at the end of the booking form.
