Leaving from Puertollano y el valle de Alcudia
Puertollano is the province's industrial city, with its petrochemical complex, and the main town of the hilly south that runs down to the Alcudia valley and the Sierra Madrona. It has its own hospital and high-speed station, so many trips connect with trains to Madrid or to Córdoba and Seville.
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.
Cuenca, seen from Ciudad Real
Cuenca is reached from the north-east of the province via Campo de Criptana and Mota del Cuervo, across the Cuenca part of La Mancha. From Ciudad Real itself it is several hours by road with no direct train.
On arrival: Cuenca y la Serranía
Cuenca city, above the gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers, is the gateway to the Serranía, a mountain area of pine forests and small villages stretching towards Teruel and Guadalajara. The city holds the hospital, the high-speed station and public offices, and gets tourists all year round.
Tip: From Alcázar, Tomelloso or Socuéllamos to Barajas there is no high-speed rail to help: for an early flight, pickup is in the small hours and should be booked days in advance.
