Cervantes Park

Cervantes Park is the green lung of Alcázar de San Juan and the favourite spot for locals and visitors to enjoy a quiet stroll in the shade. Its wide tree-lined walks, flanked by plane trees and acacias, wind past ornamental fountains, flower beds and benches where you can rest while breathing in the tranquillity of La Mancha life. The children's area, equipped with modern and safe play equipment, makes it a family destination, while the bandstand — witness to decades of open-air concerts and summer fiestas — adds a nostalgic charm to the whole. The park bears the name of the author of Don Quixote as a tribute to the historical link between Cervantes and this city, and strolling along its paths is a pleasant way to round off a day of sightseeing before enjoying dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.
