The last of a series of corrals that once crisscrosses Spain. During my visit the stage and chairs had been removed. These items are used for the annual play festival. Seeing it without these items. Many corrals were renovated in the Italian style which is why this venue has such importance.
Almagro is a small town so the small space of this corral is understandable.
A museum of the history of theatre in Spain, a modern facility, adjoins the corral and is the mode of entry.

We where there mid summer and where delighted to wander around the plaza at 11pm at night and see it bustling with families and people enjoying entertainment (there had been a concert) food and generally being relaxed.. plenty of cafes and places to eat. Its yet to be commercialized and over run by tourists so it still has a great charm

Very nice authentic feeling square. Being able to have a caña and meal in the sun with such a relaxed setting is rare. The statue of don quixote is the icing on the cake pushing this above other locations.

Hot sun and chilly water - a perfect combination. The water is turquise-blueish. Lovely sights include Waterfalls and rocks along the water. Have been there 2 times in 2010 and 2015 - both in May-June period - not so crowded then. Definitely worth stopping by if ever travelled from/to Madrid!
5. Teatro Municipal de Almagro

I noticed that several of the photos and the reviews are not of this Teatro Municipal in Calle San Agustin but are reviews of the Corral de Comedias theatre in Plaza Mayor. (separate building with its own review page) Very confusing for any visitor to trip advisor! This theatre was beautifully restored in the 1970's. Small entrance fee - 2 euros- allowed you to visit all the different levels of the the theatre - beautiful chandelier and comfortable Seating. There are many photos on the walls showing you the theatre before restoration. The girl on the desk was very helpful and very enthusiastic about theatre and seeing the historic sights in Almagro. She spoke very good English and marked placed of interest on our map. We hadn't realised that theatre was so important and historical for this town. Wish we could have visited during the Theatre festival.

If you grew up on the story of Don Quixote, and liked it, you have to see these windmills once. Getting there is another story. For some reason the signage is awful, and we wondered the narrow alleyways of the town for some time, until we got up the hill, in front of the mills. Standing there you can imagine that unforgettable scene from the book.

I read another review where they were worried to drive to the top in a rental car - I just want to sya that there are no troubles in doing that. Yes it is a bumpy road and some places there are water crossing the path especially after rain - but it is safe and the views when you get up there are well worth the bumpy road.

As avid birdwatchers this has been one of the top places to visit on our trips south each year. We managed to fit it in this time and, how disappointed we were. It is a beautiful wetland but, few hides, distant views of birds and, hoards of visitors walking the area with no interest in the bird life or respect for quiet. Maybe it is only like this at weekends but, I suspect not. A telescope is essential but with long walks to distant birds it is hard work whilst being trampled and jostled by casual walkers. If you visit I would strongly advise avoiding weekends.

Reviewed By LuckySpivey - Atlanta, Georgia
We stopped on our way from Granada to Toledo. The plaza was pretty and interesting, in a country, charming way. (I suspect this is much more how "real" Spaniards live than the more popular tourist destinations.)
It has a few tapas restaurants and bars surrounding it. An interesting looking church that was not open. No one. No one spoke English. We managed fine with smiles and limited Spanish, but if you expect English spoken every where you go, this is not your kind of place.
