Tips
At a depth of 80 metres, on the outskirts of the municipality of Ossa de Montiel (Albacete), is one of the most mythical places on the Cervantes Route of Castilla-La Mancha, the one in which his character Don Quixote suffered the most intense and famous of world literature. The Cueva de Montesinos has been generated over the centuries due to the processes of dissolution of rainwater in the rocks of the area, and a small stream runs inside it.

To access this cave you have to ask for a guide. But you can get close to its entrance mouth and peek up to the gate.
