Estación Madrid-Puerta de Atocha, seen from Ciudad Real
The province has two high-speed stations and a major conventional rail junction, but they are in three different towns. From a town with no station, catching the first train of the day almost always depends on a car.
On arrival: Madrid capital

Before you book, this may help
- Puertollano and the Alcudia valley to Madrid: when the AVE pays off and when the car with a driver to Atocha, Chamartín, Estación Sur or IFEMA
Puertollano is the province's last high-speed stop before Andalusia, and for one person going to central Madrid in daytime the AVE is the best option: a little over an hour to Atocha, with the station inside the town.
- The Ciudad Real and Puertollano AVE stations: which trains stop and how to get there from Daimiel, Almagro, Valdepeñas or Alcázar
Ciudad Real is the only province in Castilla-La Mancha with two high-speed stations, Ciudad Real and Puertollano, both on the Madrid–Seville line: Atocha is under an hour from Ciudad Real and a little more from Puertollano, and Córdoba is barely an hour to the south.
- The La Mancha of Alcázar and Tomelloso: how to reach Barajas without AVE and what the Alcázar rail junction is for
The north-east of Ciudad Real province is the La Mancha of the Campo de Criptana windmills, the wineries of Tomelloso and Socuéllamos and the Alcázar de San Juan rail junction, through which trains run to Madrid, the east coast and Andalusia but none of them high-speed.
