| |  Introduction | |  | |  In terms of hectares of vineyards, Castile-La Mancha is the most extensive wine-growing region in the world. The La Mancha Wine Route will give you the chance to savour the exquisite wines of this region, and to discover all the tradition that surrounds them. It also offers a whole world of experiences in the land that was the inspiration for the wanderings of one of literature's most famous knights, Don Quixote. |
| | Wine Towns | | | |  The route comprises the following towns and villages: Alcázar de San Juan, Pedro Muñoz, Socuéllamos, Tomelloso, Villarrobledo, Campo de Criptana and San Clemente. The way of life and traditions of these municipalities have been closely linked with wine production for centuries. In this region you will find unique landscapes, where windmills can be seen rising above endless plains of vineyards, along with interesting artistic heritage, given that it lies on the Don Quixote Route, Europe's longest eco-tourism itinerary. Use the map on this page to see all the destinations that form part of the La Mancha Wine Route. |
