Valdepeñas is in Valdepeñas, Manzanares y La Solana. What the area is like and what trips start there
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.
Albacete, seen from Ciudad Real
Albacete lies to the east, across La Mancha through the Campo de Montiel and the Ruidera area, or up through Tomelloso and Villarrobledo. There is no convenient direct train between the two capitals, so a car is the practical way to go and return the same day.
On arrival: Llanos de Albacete
The capital and its immediate surroundings, with Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón and its castle close by, hold a large share of the province's population. The General Hospital, Albacete-Los Llanos station, the airport and the fairground are all here, so Albacete is both the starting point and the destination of most trips.
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.
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 before you confirm. There are no hidden charges: any supplement is shown in the quote before you confirm.

Before you book, this may help
- From Ciudad Real to Andalusia and the neighbouring capitals: Córdoba, Jaén, Albacete and Cuenca
From Ciudad Real, Andalusia is closer by train than the neighbouring capitals: the AVE on the Madrid–Seville line stops in Ciudad Real and Puertollano and runs to Córdoba station with no changes.
- Valdepeñas, Manzanares and La Solana: to Madrid and Barajas with the Ciudad Real AVE or by car on the A-4, and the wine route
Valdepeñas and Manzanares sit on the A-4 and have conventional railway stations, but no high-speed one: the nearest AVE leaves from Ciudad Real, {{ruta:valdepenas-a-estacion-ave-ciudad-real:km}} from Valdepeñas, {{ruta:manzanares-a-estacion-ave-ciudad-real:km}} from Manzanares and {{ruta:la-solana-a-estacion-ave-ciudad-real:km}} from La Solana, and no bus reaches that station in time for the first train.
- The district hospitals of Ciudad Real: Mancha Centro in Alcázar, Santa Bárbara in Puertollano and Valdepeñas General, and how to get to an appointment from the villages of each area
The three SESCAM district hospitals in Ciudad Real serve their own area: Mancha Centro General Hospital, in Alcázar de San Juan, serves the La Mancha of Alcázar and Tomelloso; Santa Bárbara Hospital, in Puertollano, serves the city and the south of the Alcudia valley; and Valdepeñas General Hospital serves Valdepeñas, La Solana and the Campo de Montiel.
