Argamasilla de Alba

Argamasilla de Alba is a municipality in the province of Ciudad Real in central Spain. The town spreads across the flat landscape of La Mancha with typical whitewashed buildings and a Plaza Mayor that serves as the heart of local life.

The town was originally established during medieval times and developed as one of many settlements in the La Mancha region. Its history is linked to the agricultural traditions of the area and the production of raisins, which shaped the local economy for centuries.

The town is easily accessible on the main roads of La Mancha, with most sights within walking distance from the center. The best time to explore is in the morning or early evening, when streets are active and shops are open.

The town has a strong connection to Don Quixote, as Cervantes found inspiration here for his masterpiece and the text contains references to the local area. Visitors can explore the windmills and flat landscape that shaped the novel.
