Manzanares is in Valdepeñas, Manzanares y La Solana. What the area is like and what trips start there
Which way it goes
Ciudad Real is one of the largest provinces in Spain and its towns are far apart: going from Puertollano to Alcázar de San Juan means crossing half the province. Trains link some pairs well but not all, and buses between the main towns are scarce. The most requested internal trips are from the towns to the high-speed stations of Ciudad Real and Puertollano and to each area's hospital.
Lagunas de Ruidera, seen from Ciudad Real
The Lagunas de Ruidera are a natural park of chained lakes on the upper Guadiana, on the border with Albacete province. They are reached from Argamasilla de Alba and Tomelloso, and in summer they fill with swimmers while parking by the busiest lakes runs short.
When demand peaks
- Summer at the Lagunas de Ruidera (July and August): The lakes are La Mancha's inland beach, and in summer they draw swimmers from the whole area at weekends. Finding a parking space near the water gets difficult from mid-morning.
Tip: If you are going to the Almagro festival, say when the performance ends: pickup is set for when you come out, not for a rough 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.
