Information
The inside will surprise you with its characteristic blue beams, in addition to the tiles with geometric patterns that are present in both the rooms and the common areas. It has a courtyard surrounded by stone columns and a swimming pool in which to cool off during the hot summer days of La Mancha.
Culture, art and tradition come together in this city, which has been declared a Historical-Artistic Site. Its main attraction is the 17th-century Corral de Comedias, where Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina staged their plays. It remains active and is very busy throughout the year, especially in July, when the International Classical Theatre Festival is held. Almagro is also home to the National Theatre Museum.
The best way to explore Almagro is to lose yourself in its narrow streets. The Church of San Agustín, the Fúcares Palace, and the Convent of Asunción de Calatrava are some of the most characteristic historical buildings in the city. If you have time for an excursion to the surrounding areas, don't miss the Tablas de Daimiel National Park.
Environment
Head out a few kilometres from Almagro to enjoy natural spaces such as the Tablas de Daimiel National Park. A wetland full of herons, ducks and even otters, foxes and lizards that you can visit on foot or in off-road vehicles. A little further ahead we come to two other parks: Cabañeros and Las Lagunas de Ruidera.
Other worthwhile excursions include a visit to the Castle of Doña Berenguela in Bolaños de Calatrava, and the Cerro Gordo volcano. Almagro is located in Campo de Calatrava, one of the few volcanic regions in the peninsula. It has some 250 volcanoes and calderas. If you’re a lover of wine, you can stop in Valdepeñas to visit some of its wineries and the Wine Museum.
Las Tablas de Daimiel
The Tablas de Daimiel are the last example of an ecosystem called fluvial tables, a formation produced by the overflowing of the Guadiana and Gigüela rivers, favoured by the lack of slope in the terrain. The wetland of Las Tablas de Daimiel was declared a National Park in 1973, a biosphere reserve in 1981, and was included in the Ramsar Convention in 1982. Its declaration as a National Park was a crucial step in conserving one of the most valuable ecosystems on our planet, thus ensuring the survival of the birds that use these areas as wintering, nesting and roosting grounds.
