オッサ・デ・モンティエルのおすすめライド

You absolutely must visit this unique and striking castle. I recommend climbing to the top to enjoy the views from its privileged elevated position and imagining the times when such thick walls were necessary.

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.

The Mirador de la Laguna de San Pedro viewpoint is located in the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park, within the municipality of Ossa de Montiel (Albacete). It is one of the most spectacular viewpoints for admiring this group of lagoons.

Laguna del Rey is one of the most emblematic lagoons in the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park, located within the municipality of Ruidera (Ciudad Real). It lies just outside the town of Ruidera, and is one of the first lagoons encountered when traveling through the park by road. It is easily accessible by car, although parking near the water can be difficult during peak season.

What to see in Ossa de Montiel Parish Church of Santa María Magdalena A 16th-century Gothic building with a Mudéjar roof, declared a Site of Cultural Interest. Rochafrida Castle An 11th-12th century medieval fortress, steeped in legend and linked to the Don Quixote Route. Montesinos Cave A karst cave famous for its appearance in Don Quixote. Access is only with a guide; it is home to bat colonies and curious rock formations.

The castle has Muslim origins and was conquered in the 12th century. Inside is the sanctuary of Our Lady of Peñarroya, which adds a cultural component to the visit.

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.

The Mirador de la Laguna del Rey (King's Lagoon Viewpoint) is one of the most emblematic spots in the Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park. Located high above the village of Ruidera, it offers a spectacular panoramic view of Laguna del Rey, Laguna de la Colgada, and the Hundimiento area.
