At 80 meters deep, on the outskirts of the municipality of Ossa de Montiel (Albacete), is one of the most mythical places on the Cervantes route to Castilla-La Mancha, the one where his character Don Quixote suffered the most enchantment. intense and famous of universal literature. The Montesinos Cave has been created over the centuries due to the dissolution processes of rainwater in the rocks of the area, and a small stream runs inside.

The Cueva de Montesinos is very famous for the passage of Don Quixote in which he suffers a series of hallucinations while inside. You can get to it without any problem and see the mouth of the entrance, but it can only be visited with a guide. Your visit is highly recommended.
