Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
La Mancha is an arid, fertile, elevated plateau (610 m or 2000 ft.) of central Spain, south of Madrid, stretching between the Montes (mountains) de Toledo and the western spurs of the Cerros (hills) de Cuenca, and bounded on the south by the Sierra Morena and on the north by the La Alcarria region. It includes portions of the modern provinces of Cuenca, Toledo, and Albacete, and most of the Ciudad Real province. It constitutes the southern portion of the Castile-La Mancha autonomous community and makes up most of the region.
The climate is continental, with strong fluctuations. Agriculture (wheat, barley, oats, wine grapes) is the primary economic activity, but it is severely restricted by the harsh environmental conditions.
Famous Spaniards like the cinema directors Pedro Almodóvar and José Luis Cuerda, painters Antonio López and his uncle Antonio López Torres, footballer Andrés Iniesta and actress Sara Montiel were born in La Mancha.
La mancha means, literally, 'the stain', 'the spot', or 'the blemish'.
