About Albacete Region:

Albacete emcompasses almost 15,000 sq. km of plain, stretching to the south eastern part of the province where you can see the foothills of Sierra de Segura with beautiful mountain landscapes.

The source of the Mundo River in Riopar, a tributary of the Segura, is especially breathtaking.  The natural phenomenon of the Lagoons of Ruidera, near Ossa de Montiel, are also interesting.

A visit should be made to La Roda, Chinchilla, Villarrobledo and Almansa, where you will see aristocratic mansions dating from medieval times.  Alpera and Minateda cave paintings can also be found in natural shelters dating back to the neolithic age.  The province is famed for hunting and fishing and during the partridge season people from both Spain and other parts of Europe gather there.

The Moors and Christians festival held in Caudete on 7th and 8th September have proved very interesting to the tourist, as has Tarazona de la Mancha.  Albacete, capital of the province, has a very interesting Archaeological Museum with modern painting collections dedicated to Benjamin Palencia.  It is also an ideal centre for daily outings to some of the other towns.

Albacete Region Attractions:

Lovers of the arts and customs of La Mancha will enjoy a modern city that has preserved all of its traditional flavour.

The cathedral of Saint John the Baptist is located in the oldest part of the city's perfect urban layout.  Although it is a Gothic building, its architecture incorporates different styles.  The immense amount of time it took to build (four hundred years), yielded as a result a Gothic chapel, four great Renaissance columns, several Baroque elements and a Neogothic main facade.

Albacete's religious architecture can also be seen in the old monastery of Encarnacin (16th century), presently an arts centre and in the church of the Holy Conception.
