Castilla-La Mancha
Castilla-La Mancha

Located in the inland region of Spain in the south of Castilla–La Mancha. The capital is Albacete, the largest city in the province.

The annual fair, La Feria de Albacete Fair, is an official festival of International Tourist Interest. Other fiestas held in the province hold the same distinction: the Tamborada de Hellín (drumming festival) and Almansa's Fiestas Mayores.

The landscape in the province is mostly plains, typical of La Mancha, contrasting with the mountain ranges of Alcaraz and Segura. There are also two natural parks. In addition to the capital city, there are several towns and villages of interest throughout the province such as Alcalá del Júcar, Almansa, Alcaraz, Chinchilla de Montearagón, Letur, Villarrobledo and Hellín. There are also some interesting cave paintings, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula.
