Castile?La Mancha ( Inglis / k æ ? s t iː l l ? ? m ?ː n t? ? / ; Spaingie : Castilla-La Mancha [kas?ti?a la ?mant?a]  ( listen ) ) is an autonomous commonty o Spain . Castile?La Mancha is bordered bi Castile an Leon , Madrid , Aragon , Valencie , Murcie , Andalusie , an Extremadura . It is ane o the maist spairsely populatit o Spain's autonomous commonties. Its caipital ceety is Toledo , an its maist muckle ceety is Albacete .

Castile?La Mancha wis umwhile groupit wi the province o Madrid intae New Castile ( Castilla la Nueva ), but wi the advent o the modren Spaingie seestem o autonomous regions ( Estado de las autonomias ), it wis separatit due tae great demographic disparity atween the caipital an the remainin New-Castilian provinces. An aw, destinct frae the umwhile New Castile, Castile?La Mancha addit the province o Albacete , which haed been pairt o Murcie ; addin Albacete placit aw o La Mancha athin this single region.

It is maistly in this region whare the story o the famous Spaingie novel Don Quixote bi Miguel de Cervantes is situatit - due tae which La Mancha is internaitionally well-kent. Awtho La Mancha is a windswept, battered plateau, it remains a seembol o the Spaingie cultur wi its vineyards, sunflouers, mushrooms, oliveyards, windmills, Manchego cheese , an Don Quixote .
