In Castile–La Mancha, an autonomous community and historic region of Spain

 The autonomous community of Castile–La Mancha was established by the statute of autonomy, from the historic region of New Castile, 10 August 1982.

=====================================================================
(in Castile–La Mancha, an autonomous community and historic region of Spain)
Encompassing the provinces of Toledo, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, and Albacete, Castile–La Mancha is bounded by the autonomous communities of Madrid to the north, Aragon to the northeast, Valencia to the east, Murcia to the southeast, Andalusia to the south, Extremadura to the west, and Castile-León to the northwest. The capital of Castile–La Mancha is Toledo. A watershed of the low-lying Toledo Mountains bisects the region, with tablelands of La Alcarria to the north being drained by the Tagus and the plains of La Mancha to the south being drained by the Guadiana River. La Alcarria merges with the Sistema Central to the north and the Iberian Cordillera to the east; the plains of La Mancha extend southeastward into the province of Albacete, terminating in the Baetic Cordillera. The Sierra Morena rises in the south. A Mediterranean climate, modified by continental influences prevails; causing temperatures to increase from east to west and north to south. Annual precipitation is relatively low, exceeding 20 inches (500 mm) only in the province of Cuenca, and is concentrated in the Autumn and Spring. Emigration which has been especially high among young men, has resulted in an increase in the median age and a drop in the birth rate. The population here tends to be dispersed in the Iberian Cordillera and concentrated in the plains of La Mancha, where large agricultural towns predominate. Farmland in La Mancha tends to be partitioned into latifundios, or large estates, while minifundios, or small landholdings, predominate north of the Tagus. (The region produces about half of Spain’s wine and mills a large portion of the country’s flour.)

+ The National Museum of Abstract Art was established in the city of Cuenca in 1966. The polychromatic ceramics produced in the province of Toledo have been widely marketed since the 14th century The town of Atienza in the province of Guadalajara features a Caballada every Pentecost, in which townsmen ride to the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de la Estrella outside Atienza and reenact the rescue of Alfonso VII by townsmen in 1163.

+ Featured here are the windmills in Consuegra,Castile in the region of La Mancha on the top of the hill Calderico, where you can find quite an impressive image of Spain: 12 windmills surround a huge fortress making for an astonished view. History, culture and fiction comes together here. The great flat land, the endless skyline where soil and sky connected appears in front of you, and in the distance are the windmills and a huge castle on the top of a hill crowning the plain. While arriving at the heart of Spain you sense a history that goes back thousands of years. (It is a place where you can learn the history and tradition, and a bit of human history too).
