Alcázar de San Juan is in La Mancha de Alcázar y Tomelloso. What the area is like and what trips start there
Which way it goes
To the south, the A-4 crosses Despeñaperros towards Jaén and Córdoba, and the AVE runs to Andalusia from Ciudad Real and Puertollano. To the north, the N-401 climbs to Toledo through the Montes; to the east, Albacete and Cuenca are reached by road across La Mancha, with no convenient direct train from the capital.
Albacete, seen from Ciudad Real
Albacete lies to the east, across La Mancha through the Campo de Montiel and the Ruidera area, or up through Tomelloso and Villarrobledo. There is no convenient direct train between the two capitals, so a car is the practical way to go and return the same day.
On arrival: Llanos de Albacete
The capital and its immediate surroundings, with Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón and its castle close by, hold a large share of the province's population. The General Hospital, Albacete-Los Llanos station, the airport and the fairground are all here, so Albacete is both the starting point and the destination of most trips.
Tip: If you are catching the AVE at Ciudad Real or Puertollano, give the train time when booking: the driver works out the pickup so you reach the access check in good time.
What the price includes
- Door-to-door pickup and help with luggage.
- Complimentary waiting and flight or train tracking.
- Child restraint systems if you need them.
- The 10 % Spanish VAT on passenger transport.
