10 Tours in Castile-La Mancha That You Shouldn't Miss

March 8, 2022 Christa Meece

Castile-La Mancha, a Spanish land of craggy cliffs, golden fields and red soil, produces savory Manchego cheese, olives, saffron and more than its share of mystery. Chase the enduring legend of Don Quixote among the windmills of Campo de Criptana. Pass through the Bisagra Gate to experience the walled city of Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage site that pays stylistic tribute to the Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures. In Guadalajara, palaces and Baroque churches capture the imagination.

Overall a good tour. Juan was a very enthusiastic and friendly guide. We did the entire three hour tour. One thing that would be good to know is that the tour is kind of split into two parts. The first part you walk around and look at monuments of Toledo. The second part of the group splits and those who do not purchase the full tour leave and then you visit the rest of the monuments and go inside. One of the most impressive things on the tour is The Burial of Conde Orgaz by the famous painter El Greco! Toledo has so much to offer and it’s a city that should not be missed!

The Roman City of Segóbriga was the capital of the mining district of Lapis Specularis (a variety of Plaster, which forms laminar glass). This mineral was used as a window pane and became a luxury item, until the laminated glass was developed and took its place. In that period, Segóbriga became one of the most prosperous and monumental cities of Roman Hispania (only seven cities in Hispania had Theater, Amphitheater and Circus). With the appearance of laminar glass and the end of the Lapis Specularis demand, Segóbriga's economy collapsed. Mines of Lapis Spacularis.

This winery is one of the oldest in Valdepeñas. It is famed for the beautiful stone carved wine cellar with its huge clay vessels on which famous Spanish poets wrote their poems on. Although currently no wine is being produced in the winery, it is worth a visit since there is no other winery like this. It is a private and very personal visit since Andrés, the owner of the winery, helped his father as a a small child to produce wine here. He will show you the winery and give you historical information about the winery and the wine in this region.

We had the most beautiful time at Taste of La Mancha. They welcomed us with open arms and were completely accepting of our inexperience but our interest in learning about wines and food parings. They ensured we were comfortable and content throughout and we had a brilliant time, both tasting the wine and learning about Valdepeñas culture. Thank you all for an amazing experience! X

The experience was fantastic. It was the best birthday present I could have done to my Mother on her 60th birthday. It was a surprise until we arrived to the place and saw the hot air ballons just starting to be blowed in front of the sunrise. Amaizing picture which still on my mind. Segovia is probably one of the best picture spots to have this experience. I would recommend it to anyone.

Went to the tasting last night to celebrate a birthday. The host, Anna, spoke very little English so it was difficult for us to understand the full experience. We sampled three wines and three olive oils along with a variety of cheeses, as well as water and crackers for cleaning the palette. I learned a lot about olive oil, the different qualities and flavors.
