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
