Hiking
Argamasilla de Alba is located in the very heart of the Quijote Route. For this reason, the first stone of the same was placed in this population, constituting in this way a fundamental strategic point for travelers who wish to remember the universal hidalgo, emulating his exits from this La Mancha town.

Cycling
Argamasilla de Alba is the town where it is speculated that the first stone of the Don Quixote Route was laid. It is the epicenter of the network of paths that create the Ruta del Quixote. They add a total of 2500 kilometers.
The Cueva de Medrano in Argamasilla de Alba was where Cervantes was imprisoned and where he began to write his novel. Today, the interior of the cave can be visited.
