Romantic Urban Adventure Under the Royal Gate

Exploring the Central Plateau of Spain ~ Ciudad Real (Region) This gate is the only remaining relic of the Royal Castle in Ciudad Real. It is remarkably well-preserved, with a history dating back to the 14th century. The gate features six arches (two pointed arches on the exterior and four horseshoe arches on the interior). It is flanked by two square towers on either side of the arches, and the walls still bear the emblem of Castile. If you visit Ciudad Real, this site is definitely worth a stop.

Spanish Central Plateau Adventure ~ Ciudad Real (Region) Located in Campo Calatrava, Ciudad Real boasts a hilly terrain and boasts a modern layout while retaining all the charm of La Mancha. The arrival of the Madrid-Seville high-speed train has made transportation even more convenient. The city offers a unique cuisine centered around game, cheese, and wine. Furthermore, the Cabañeros and Las Tablas de Daimiel Natural Parks showcase its rich ecosystem. In the Middle Ages, four kilometers of city walls and 130 towers protected a population comprised of Christians, Moors, and Jews. After the unification of the Peninsular Kingdom under the Catholic Monarchs, Ciudad Real became the capital of La Mancha Province in the 17th century. This development benefited its economy, leading to investment in important architecture. From Ciudad Real, there are many ways to discover the province immortalized in Cervantes's "Don Quixote de la Mancha." Almagro, located in Campo Calatrava County, is renowned for its open-air theater (a national monument) and its International Classical Theater Festival. In addition to other interesting buildings, the National Theatre Museum and the Parador de Turismo are also worth visiting. #SeptemberDestinations2025#SpainTravel#Castilla-LaMancha
