Estimated flight time from Paris : 2h00

The city of Ciudad Real is renowned for its exceptional gastronomy centered around game, cheese, and wine. Its lively center is surrounded by the national parks of Cabañeros and Tablas de Daimiel, offering visitors the chance to explore the richness of multiple ecosystems and ways of life.

The Santa María del Prado Cathedral is a must-see in Ciudad Real. Its interior stands out for its baroque altarpiece and intricately carved choir stalls. A little further away, the Church of San Pedro is equally impressive. With its Gothic design and fortress-like appearance, its three portals adorned with archivolts, rosettes, and sculpted capitals are true architectural marvels.

In the Middle Ages, four kilometers of walls and one hundred and thirty towers protected the citizens of Ciudad Real. Walking along the remnants of these fortifications is like stepping back in time. The Puerta de Toledo, one of the eight gates that once pierced the city’s walls, remains a jewel of medieval architecture.

The area around Plaza Mayor is the perfect spot to enjoy the city’s fine wines, paired beautifully with local cheeses. Not far from the square, the house of Hernán López del Pulgar reveals a charming Renaissance-style courtyard and a columned staircase.

Culture lovers will enjoy a visit to Almagro, located in the Campo de Calatrava region. This nearby town is famous for its Golden Age theater, declared a National Historic Monument, and its renowned International Festival of Classical Theater.

Finally, the two major national parks — Cabañeros and Tablas de Daimiel — offer the opportunity for long hikes immersed in nature, far from the city’s bustle. The stunning beauty of these landscapes is breathtaking, where diverse flora and fauna coexist in harmony. Mediterranean forests, grasslands, and wetlands contrast beautifully with the region’s arid surroundings, defining the unique character of these protected spaces.
