Hotels in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain

Castilla-La Mancha sits in central Spain, with a dry continental climate that brings scorching summers up to 104°F (40°C) and chilly winters dipping to 32°F (0°C). It's famous as the setting for Don Quixote-you can see his windmills in Consuegra and Campo de Criptana-and for its saffron fields and medieval city of Toledo, with the Gothic cathedral and El Greco's paintings. Spring and fall are the best times to visit for hiking in the Alcarria hills or exploring La Mancha's vineyards, while winter is ideal for touring Toledo's fortifications without the crowds.
