Albacete, the largest city and economic center of the expansive Castile-La Mancha region, surprises visitors with a modern, tidy urbanity and vast green spaces. Historically, the city owes its prosperity and renown to the exquisite manufacturing of high-quality knives and blades, a centuries-old craft tradition kept vibrantly alive in the fascinating Museum of Cutlery (Museo de la Cuchillería). A distinct architectural highlight in the city center is the elegant Pasaje de Lodares, a modernist-style covered shopping arcade reminiscent of the grand galleries in European metropolises. The Feria de Albacete, a massive popular festival held annually in September, ranks among the oldest and most spectacular celebrations in Spain.
