Posada de los Portales, Tomelloso

Highlight • Historical Site

Declared a historical-artistic monument, it is the most emblematic building
of the city, located in the Plaza de España.
Originally from the second half of the 18th century, it served as a hostel
of travelers and cavalries until the end of the 60s, being later
purchased by the City.
The Inn preserves its original structure, with its characteristic façade of
turned balusters, which resemble the corralas or corrales of comedies,
raised on a portico formed by four Tuscan columns and two
pillars. Inside, the old home and the wooden beams on the ceiling, typical of La Mancha architecture, have been preserved, currently being a Cultural Center, housing, in the same way, the Tourist Office.

Peñarroya Castle

Highlight • Castle

The fortress originated as a Muslim fort, which would pass into Christian hands in 1198, remaining in the power 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.

Peñarroya Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Peñarroya Reservoir, like many others across Spain, was built during the Franco dictatorship. Its main purpose is to supply drinking water to nearby towns and irrigate the fields of La Mancha. It is also well-known among fishing enthusiasts who flock to the reservoir's shores every weekend in search of a photograph-worthy catch.
In summer, the Peñarroya Reservoir is the second most popular bathing destination within the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park.

El Hundimiento Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

This is the Sinking Waterfall that remained as a result of the natural modification that occurred in the middle of the 16th century in the upstream retention dam. This modification seems to have taken place in relation to the high rainfall that occurred throughout Spain and that led to the "sinking" of part of that natural rock dam that originally existed.

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.
