SITUATION Ruidera, is a town in the province of Ciudad Real, whose economy gravitates, almost entirely, around tourism. It is located in the middle part of the basin of the Upper Guadiana River, giving its name to the entire lake rosary, and is located in the northern part of the Campo de Montiel. This fluvial zone covers an approximate extension of 4,000 hectares, of which 3,772 belong to the NATURAL PARK of the LAGUNAS DE RUIDERA.

If we want to reach the source of the Alto Guadiana, while still contemplating the lagoon rosary, we have to go back to the road, bordering again the Laguna San Pedra, which like La Lengua, at its mouth, is flanked by a picturesque limestone wall.

The bridge is preserved, with arches on the road from Ruidera to La Solana, almost unrecognizable remains of the mills and remains of the stonework of the buildings with lintels and arches still standing, as well as some mortars on the floor, individually carved in a block of stone, hemispherical.
