Tips from the Community
The name of this town originates from its role as a crossroads on the ancient routes that connected Complutum with Carthago Nova in Roman times, and on the Silk Road that linked Toledo with Valencia and Cartagena. It derives from the Arabic word "rutba," the tax paid for the passage of livestock. A true inheritor of so many peoples and cultures, La Roda has absorbed the best of each, evident in its beautiful town center, its magnificent Church of El Salvador, and the Palaces of the Doctor de La Encina and the Counts of Villaleal. It is currently very well connected to the provincial capital, Albacete, from which it is only 36 km away. The entire town center has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest for its historical and artistic value.

A French Versailles-style building built in 1902 along with other factories. Abandoned in the 1960s, due to the decline of the Gosálvez family. The palace and its surroundings were bought in 2006 to be restored and converted into a hotel, but currently the works for it are not being carried out.

Enjoy the majestic views! The Júcar River, with a length of about 498 kilometers, is one of the most important rivers in the Iberian Peninsula. From this viewpoint you can get an idea of its magnitude.
