Castilla-La Mancha is an autonomous community in Spain, bordered by Castile and León, Madrid, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, and Extremadura. It is one of the most sparsely populated of Spain's autonomous communities.  It is also has some of the most stunning and stark landscapes in the country.

Its capital city is Toledo, and its most populated city is Albacete.

Castile-La Mancha or Castilla-La Mancha is where the fictional Don Quixote fought imaginary windmills. Those windmills can still be seen today. The climate of the region is desert-like, and the dialect of Spanish is very similar to the Spanish spoken in Madrid.

Although La Mancha is a windswept, battered plateau, it remains a symbol of the Spanish culture with its sunflowers, mushrooms, oliveyards, windmills, Manchego cheese, and, of course, Don Quixote.  Castilla–La Mancha has a continentalized Mediterranean climate.   This means that while the climate is similar to the typical Mediterranean climate down on the coast, it is far more extreme, with very hot summers and cold winters, with occasional snow.

The area boasts exceptional hotels and rural accommodation, including a selection of the iconic Paradores of Spain, situated in restored castles and other enigmatic buildings.

Of interest to note is that tourists visiting the Cuenca area from 22 September 2014 will be able to visit the natural park of La Serrania and most of the attractions listed in the articles below using a new tour bus which has been launched by the Cuenca Welcome Services company.

There will be a combination of the three tour packages including visiting the Natural Park, the Enchanted City, the Devil's window as well as options for sport fishing or adventure sports (quad biking, canyoning or horseback ride). All packages include tickets, bus transfers, guide, lunch offers and audio guide in four languages.

These tours will be available during spring, summer and autumn and will leave from the railway station at 10:20 hours and will collect tourists along the five remaining stops in the capital (AC and NH Hotels, the bus station, Park of Los Moralejos and UNED), and also a stop located in Villalba de la Sierra.
