Good cycling areas. We can find several alternatives: Towards Gasset, passing through the Giant, Fernan Caballero, of course, or in the other direction, Vicario and Presa.

The Canal de Gasset Dam, also known as the Gasset Reservoir, is located in the municipality of Fernán Caballero. It supplies water to Ciudad Real and its surrounding area, as well as a small irrigated area of approximately 1,000 hectares. It is a key point for water management in the region and a popular spot for outdoor activities.

The Hermitage of San Agustín and San Sebastián in Fernán Caballero is a temple of simple, whitewashed architecture, with an elegant porch at the entrance. This hermitage is a significant place for the inhabitants of the town, especially during the patron saint festivities. The festivities of San Agustín are celebrated from August 26 to 31, with various activities, including a procession and fireworks. San Sebastián, on the other hand, is celebrated on January 20 with a procession in his honor.⛪

In the Sierra de Malagón, there is a hiking route where you can find a replica of King Arthur's famous sword Excalibur. This route also includes a replica of Thor's hammer Mjölnir, making it a unique experience for lovers of mythology and history. If you are interested in exploring this route, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and water, as it is an excellent opportunity to enjoy nature while discovering these legendary objects. NOT RECOMMENDED BY BIKE!!!😅😅😅

The Malvecinos bridge is located in the northwestern quadrant of the municipality of Carrión de Calatrava, at km 6,500 of the CR-211 provincial highway that goes from Carrión to Fernán Caballero. Since the Middle Ages, its dam-bridge was one of the most notable historical passages of the Guadiana River in this area, forming part of the route of the Cañada Real de la Plata. Unfortunately, its current state is critical due to the uncontrolled growth of vegetation, which has made urgent intervention necessary for its conservation and to avoid its ruin. The Tablas de Calatrava Naturalist Association has promoted a rehabilitation project in four phases to preserve this historical heritage. We hope that this unique enclave in Alto Guadiana can be protected and restored! 🌉🌿

Bañuelos River Bridge and that takes us to the Camino del Río Banuelos, a dirt road at this time somewhat uncomfortable due to having a lot of vegetation, but it can still be passed.

In 1941, with the nationalization of the Iberian gauge railways, the facilities passed into the hands of RENFE. In January 1988, the facilities and most of the Madrid-Ciudad Real line were closed due to the construction of the New Railway Access to Andalusia.​ Currently the travelers building is preserved, which has been converted into a bar.
