With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Ciudad Real, 18 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Golf Ciudad Real, Puerta de Toledo and Gasset Park. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Almagro, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Dona Berenguela Castle. (But we’d also highly recommend Corral de las Comedias and National Theatre Museum.)
