After 6 weeks studying (and being a cultural tourist), and 11 wonderful days in Madrid, visiting the sights, surrounding towns and enjoying wonderful spring weather, Gillian and I left our beautiful apartment in Huertas and took the train to Ciudad Real. Not really much to say about Ciudad Real, smallish city south of Madrid, easy place to pick up the car and they have a really old church and a Don Quijote museum.
Really, we just wanted to find a place outside of Madrid to pick up the car and start our road trip. We did end up finding the church (had mass on so couldn't go in) but found a lovely museum across the road which we visited and saw some interesting and some disturbing paintings by a local artist. Didn't find the Don Quijote museum and our ramblings were cut short by frequent rain, cold weather and my stomach!
After a lovely night at the NH Cuidad Real Hotel, we found Europcar and headed off for our adventures!
