WEATHER IN SPAIN


Castilla La Mancha is a vast region which occupies the South Submeseta of the Iberia Peninsula, with an expanse of 79,226 square kilometers, fact that situates Castilla-La Mancha as the third biggest region of the country, according to its surface. In spite of having been considered as a passing-through-land, it has always maintained a certain grade of human occupation, as it is proved by the abundant remainders of assents of different cultures, forming a rich historic and artistic heritance not yet known in its full totality.
Its population of more than a million seven thousand inhabitants is distributed in five provinces: Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo. The organization of the cores of population is uneven and less numerous in the south of the region. This is a consequence of the way of repopulating used during the Christian Conquest, historic period that has left extensive repercussions on the territory. Furthermore, the historic process of development has left important traces in the form of magnificent historic-artistic settings, some of them declared Humanity Heritance by the UNESCO: we are talking about the multicultural city of Toledo and the magic city of Cuenca. Still, other places like Almagro, Villanueva de los Infantes, Molina de Aragón, Campo de Criptana and many other places also offer to the traveler a place where he/she can rest, relax and let his/her mind fly free under the vigilance of Sancho, the best of all the known squires, whose spirit still wanders through this soils accompanying his master Quixote.
