We have come to the conclusion that Ciudad Real is not very beuatiful. Of course this is not to say it is not a great place to live, nor a good base to explore the region as a tourist. We are doing the latter today. it is a cold and sunny morning and we will be back at the station with a view to visiting Almagro, a smaller, preetier place with lots of history. But first we pause to admire part of Ciudad Real's history. Here is Puerta Toledo, a remaining fragment of the medieval walls mentioned in my previous post.
Here is my chum at the station about to board the train to Almagro, of which there are about five per day.
Almagro is situated to the South East.
La Mancha is really flat
Here is Almagro Station, the smallest we encounter on our trip. It is minimalist in every way. No bar, no staff, no crossing or bridge on the line. Not very welcoming. We have to wait for the train to leave before we can cross. Not safe.
Leaving the station we head up a pretty avenue.
