The community of Castilla
The community of Castilla-La Mancha is composed of five provinces in the central and southern peninsula: Toledo, Ciudad Real, Guadalajara, Cuenca and Albacete. The name of this land comes from the fact that most of its territory corresponds with the region of La Mancha, a vast plain, which was retaken from the kingdom of Castile and free from the dominion of the Moors during the middle ages. This plain, boasting to be the most consistent and extensive in Spain, is a typical mountain landscape. Many mountain ranges lie around one another as the Montes de Toledo, Sierra Conquense or Alcaraz, and run the great rivers Tajo and Guadiana.
