'Castile-La Mancha is an autonomous community of Spain. Castile-La Mancha is bordered by Castile and León, Madrid, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, and Extremadura. It is one of the most sparsely populated of Spain's autonomous communities. The capital of Castile-La Mancha is Toledo. Castile-La Mancha was formerly grouped with the province of Madrid into New Castile (''Castilla la Nueva''), but with the advent of the modern Spanish system of semi-autonomous regions , it was separated due to great demographic disparity between the capital and the remaining New-Castilian provinces. It is in this region where the famous Spanish novel ''Don Quixote'' by Miguel de Cervantes was written. Although La Mancha is a windswept, battered plateau (''manxa'' means parched earth in Arabic; hence La Mancha is not definitively related to the Spanish word ''mancha'', or stain, which is derived from Latin ''macula'') it remains a symbol of the Spanish culture with its sunflowers, oliveyards, windmills, Manchego cheese and ''Don Quijote''. Castilla-La Mancha, located at the very center of the Iberian peninsula, is dominated by an extense tableland, although there are mountainous landscapes too. 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''. Traditional gastronomy is simple but tasteful, with stews, game, sausages and the famous Manchego cheese. The region's excellent wines are a perfect match.
