Castile-La Mancha (Spanish: Castilla-La Mancha) in Spain is an autonomous community with the capital Toledo and covers 79,463 km². Together with Madrid and most of Castile-León, it forms the region of Castile, whose name goes back to the medieval kingdom of the same name. Castile-La Mancha is the successor to the historic region of New Castile and comprises the five provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo. The area borders seven regions. Clockwise, these are Madrid to the north-west, Castile-León to the north, Aragon and Valenciana to the east, Murcia to the south-east, Andalusia to the south and Extremadura to the west. Together with Extremadura, Castile-La Mancha is part of the vast Meseta plateau landscape (see map at the bottom).
