Kampaoh Cabañeros

The landscapes of the Cabañeros National Park are perhaps best explored on foot – the national park information point (five minutes’ drive) can organise guides, introduce you to the area’s wildlife and history, and give you the lowdown on the best hiking routes. Handily, one of the most popular trails, the Ruta Boqueron Estena, starts just a couple of minutes’ walk from your accommodation. For a different way to see the scenery, organise an outing from the horse riding centre in the village. Although you’ve most likely come here to immerse yourselves in unspoiled nature, it’s possible to mix in a city day or two if you fancy a change of scenery. A drive of around an hour and a quarter will get you either to Ciudad Real to visit the Don Quixote Museum or to Toledo to explore UNESCO-listed sights like the Alcazar and Mezquita Cristo de la Luz and visit the El Greco Museum.
