Leaving from La Mancha de Alcázar y Tomelloso
The north-east of the province is the La Mancha of the Campo de Criptana windmills, the wineries of Tomelloso and Socuéllamos and the rail junction at Alcázar de San Juan. Mancha Centro Hospital, in Alcázar, serves much of the area, and Argamasilla de Alba is the gateway to the Lagunas de Ruidera.
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.
