Discover Lagunas de Ruidera

The Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park is a chain of fifteen lagoons linked by waterfalls and streams, a genuine oasis in the middle of the plains of La Mancha. For the pilgrim on the Camino del Argar, it is one of the most beautiful and refreshing stages of all. The setting offers spectacular scenery, ideal for swimming, hiking and birdwatching. The park is home to the Cueva de Montesinos, immortalised by Cervantes in Don Quixote. With a good choice of accommodation and restaurants, it is a perfect place for a longer rest, enjoying one of the most singular and beautiful natural areas in Spain.
