The journey

Leaving from Ciudad Real y el Campo de Calatrava
The capital and the towns of the old Order of Calatrava lands make up the most populated area in the west of the province. Miguelturra is joined to Ciudad Real, and Almagro and Bolaños are a few kilometres away: most trips to the high-speed station, the General Hospital and the provincial offices start here.
Which way it goes
From Ciudad Real the road to Madrid is the A-41 to Puerto Lápice and then the A-4, which enters Madrid from the south. For Barajas the route continues on the M-40 or M-50 without crossing the centre. Malagón lies on the road to Toledo, the other way out to the north.
Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, seen from Ciudad Real
From Ciudad Real you can reach Barajas by AVE, changing at Atocha, but with luggage and for early flights a direct car avoids the change. From eastern La Mancha, with no high-speed rail, a car is almost the only comfortable option.
When demand peaks
- Holiday departures (Easter, summer and Christmas): At the start and end of the holidays, high-speed trains to Madrid and Andalusia and transfers to Barajas from all over the province fill up at the same time. The first flights and first trains of the day are the first to run out of space.
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.
Airport pickup
For arrivals, the driver waits in the terminal with a name sign and helps with your luggage. We track the flight number, so a delay costs nothing extra within the terminal’s complimentary waiting time.
For early flights
We recommend leaving Bolaños de Calatrava at least 189 minutes before you want to be at the check-in desk. We operate through the night, always with an advance booking.
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.
Tolls and parking, where the route requires them, are itemised in the quote and charged to the customer, with one exception: for airport destinations, if traffic calls for it, the route along the radial toll motorways is included at no cost provided there are at least 3 hours between pickup and the flight's departure. With less margin, that toll is itemised in the quote like any other. There are no hidden charges and no surge pricing.
