Awesome place to visit! But I realised there was hardly any information on how to travel there without a car and without having to book an expensive day tour. Here’s my experience: 1) From Madrid, go to Estación Sur bus terminal. Metro station Mendez Alvaro is directly at the bus terminal. 2) Go to Samar ticket counter to buy the bus ticket to Consuegra. The people at the ticket counter hardly understands English, so you might have to show them the word Consuegra from your phone. Ticket cost about 11 Euros 1 way. I took the 11am bus on a Monday. Return ticket does not have to be bought here, can be bought directly on the return bus from Consuegra itself. 3) The bus is a direct bus to Consuegra. There is NO transfer needed. They will issue you 2 tickets, which is confusing but that’s how their ticket system work. 4) The ticket does not show the Bay number to wait for the bus. You have to check the Bay number on the tv screen. Note that Consuegra is not the final destination. Check on the screen using your bus timing and final destination information. These are written on your ticket. 5) Go to the allocated bus bay and you are on board the bus! As there are stops in between, the total journey can take up to 3hours. 6) Once you arrive in Consuegra, there is a tourist office directly next to the bus stop. Go in and get a map. The personnel there will explain exactly how to walk up to the windmills. Direction is really easy to follow. Remember to ask for the timing of the bus back to Madrid. PS: There is a washroom inside the tourist office. 7) Note that there is a very long flight of stairs to go up the windmills. Slope is gradual so it’s quite manageable. You can go slow. 8) I took the 1810 bus back to Madrid. Return trip was much faster. Hope this helps!

Great little stop. We just parked and walked around the castle and then took the trails on both sides of the castle to see the windmills. The fog setting on the windmills were kind of magical.
