Castilla-la-Mancha
The very name Castilla-La Mancha instantly conjures up romantic visions of windmills and castles, as alluded to in the Miguel Cervantes masterpiece “Don Quixote de la Mancha”, the most widely printed book in the world after the Bible. Many of those characteristic windmills Don Quixote “fought”, mistaking them for giants and armies, are still present to this day. Castilla-La Mancha is located right at the very centre of Spain and dominated by a characteristically flat expanse known as the “Meseta”. It also includes mountainous landscapes as well as some absolutely fascinating monumental towns such as the World Heritage city Toledo, Cuenca and Ciudad Real.
Of major interest to the visitor are of course the monumental cities and towns of great historical importance, like Toledo, the enchanting Cuenca and Albacete, but one should take as well several interesting alternative routes into consideration, among them: Ruta de los Pueblos Negros ("Route of the Black Villages"), having their name from the use of slate in their traditional architecture, the "Route of the Saffron Fields", "Route of the Castles", and the "Route of Don Quijote", named after Cervante's legendary "Man from La Mancha". Still today you will see many of those characteristical windmills Don Quijote was fighting with in all the land.
Windmills of La Mancha – You can't pass through La Mancha without a detour to visit the windmills. The best spot is Campo de Criptana (near Alcazar de San Juan). Tour the inside of a windmill, named Infanto, where kids can see the gears, wheels and grinding stones up close. The first Sunday of each month, the restored windmill Sardinero, grinds flour. Other mills have been turned into museums – in the windmill Garcilaso Inca, there's a Museum of Farming with traditional tools.
History Castilla-La Mancha has been populated since pre-historic times, as evidenced by the Palaeolithic remains in Alpera and Minated (Albacete). The Roman occupation, which began in 192 BC, left many legacies, not least roads, aqueducts, theatres and cities such as Segóbriga, Valeria and Toletum. By 711 AD, however, the region had come under Moorish control and under their auspices it flourished, both economically and culturally. Alfonso VI took control of Toledo in 1085 and by the 13th century the Christian reconquest was completed with the taking of Montiel in 1233. Following a period of upheaval Castilla had become exhausted by the 17th century, suffering doubly from high inflation caused by the importing of precious metals from America and an ever-decreasing population. It remained a largely rural area despite some steps towards industrialisation. From the 1950’s onward there was widespread emigration to Madrid and the major coastal cities. Since 1982 it has been an autonomous community
