Castilla-La Mancha

The Community of Castilla-La Mancha, whose origins were discussed, has managed to articulate itself as a unitary space with very precise and recognizable features. Its five provinces treasure natural landscapes, cities, towns and monuments, customs and traditions so rich and numerous that they give rise to founding an important tourist activity on them. This guide contains the best cultural and practical information about Castilla-La Mancha divided into four sections. In the first, entitled Excursions through Castilla-La Mancha, eight tours of this Community are described. All are accompanied by a map of the area in which the itinerary described is indicated. The second section, Castilla-La Mancha from A to Z, contains the most significant towns and places in the Community. The maps of the cities will facilitate the displacements. The third part, The context, is a good way to approach the history and art, gastronomy, popular architecture and the cultural offer of Castilla-La Mancha. Finally, in the Practical Information chapter you can obtain the addresses and telephone numbers of some hotels, restaurants and other tourist services in most of the places mentioned in the guide. The practical nature is reinforced with a road map of the Community (1:400,000 scale) and a fold-out map of its capital, Toledo.
