Pósito de La Tercia

Highlight • Historical Site

This town in the province of Ciudad Real not only stands out for its Guadiana river and its Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park, but also because this town is the famous place that Cervantes did not want to remember in his quintessential work, Don Quixote de La Mancha. .

View of Peñarroya Castle and Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The fortress originated as a Muslim fort, which would pass into Christian hands in 1198, remaining in the hands of the Order of San Juan in 1215, although it was conquered with the help of the Order of Santiago. Legend has it that after taking the fortress the image of Our Lady of Peñarroya was found, venerated since then by the residents of Argamasilla de Alba and La Solana, who share the Patron Saint.

Peñarrolla Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Unique landscape: The reservoir is part of the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park and offers spectacular views, especially from Peñarroya Castle, which stands next to the dam. Many consider it the gateway to the park and one of its most photogenic spots.

Laguna del Rey

Highlight • Lake

The King's Lagoon, one of the most emblematic lagoons in the Ruidera Lakes Natural Park:
It is located within the municipality of Ruidera (Ciudad Real), at the main entrance to the natural park.

It is one of the first lagoons you see when traveling through the park by road, very close to the town of Ruidera.
It stands out for the turquoise color of its waters, which in some places are reminiscent of the Caribbean.
It is photogenic and easily accessible, ideal for those looking for a place to relax or take a swim.
The bottom is clearly visible thanks to the water's transparency.
