About the Item

Albacete, Spain - 1902: A Cartographic Depiction of Landscape and Infrastructure An original and historical map of the province of Albacete, dated 1902, from the "Atlas Geográfico Ibero-Americano España" by D. Benito Chias y Carbo. Albacete is a province in the southeastern part of the Castilla-La Mancha region in Spain. It is known for several key features and historical elements: The province has a varied landscape, including parts of the plains of La Mancha to the north and mountainous areas to the south. It also encompasses parts of the Iberian plateau. The capital city, also named Albacete, is a significant urban center in the region and has been historically important as a hub for the manufacturing of knives and other bladed tools. Traditionally, the economy of Albacete has been based on agriculture and the production of wine and cheese. In recent times, the services sector and industrial development have grown, diversifying the provincial economy. Albacete is known for its rich cultural heritage, including traditional festivals like the Feria de Albacete, which is declared of International Tourist Interest by Spain, and features bullfighting, music, and regional cuisine. There are notable archaeological sites in the province, including prehistoric rock paintings in the municipality of Hellín, which are part of the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It contains important natural parks and reserves, such as the Lagunas de Ruidera and the Calares del Mundo y de la Sima Natural Parks, which are significant for their biodiversity and geological formations. Albacete is the site of the Los Llanos Air Base, which has been used by the Spanish Air Force and has hosted NATO training operations. The province also hosts an international motorcycle racing circuit known as Circuito de Albacete, which is popular for various motor racing events. Albacete serves as a transportation hub, with significant road and rail networks connecting it to major cities like Madrid and Valencia. The province combines a mix of traditional rural life with modern development, and its history spans from ancient times through the Roman and Moorish periods to the present day, with each era leaving its mark on the culture and architecture of the region.
