Leaving from Valdepeñas, Manzanares y La Solana
The centre and south of La Mancha in Ciudad Real line up along the A-4: Manzanares, where it crosses the A-43, and Valdepeñas, a wine town with its own designation of origin. La Solana lies to the east, towards the Campo de Montiel. Valdepeñas has a hospital and a conventional railway station, and for the AVE people go to Ciudad Real.
Which way it goes
Valdepeñas and Manzanares sit on the A-4, which runs straight up to Madrid via Puerto Lápice, Madridejos and Ocaña; La Solana joins it at Manzanares. Beyond Ocaña, the R-4 toll road is the alternative when the A-4 is busy on the way to Barajas.
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.
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.
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.
