There are also some varieties of caparrones called sin palo ( without a stave ) because they do not grow very tall and so do not require artificial support .

Comprised by the provinces of Albacete , Ciudad Real , Cuenca , Guadalajara and Toledo , it was created in 1982 .

Albacete is the largest and most populous city . The Government headquarters are in Toledo and the High Court headquarters are in Albacete . Castilla-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 autonomous communities ( Estado de las autonomías ) , it was separated due to great demographic disparity between the capital and the remaining New-Castilian provinces . Also , distinct from the former New Castile , Castilla-La Mancha added the province of Albacete , which had been part of Murcia ; adding Albacete placed all of the historic region of La Mancha within this single region . It is mostly in this region where the story of the famous Spanish novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is situated , due to which La Mancha is internationally well-known . Although La Mancha is a windswept , battered plateau , it remains a symbol of Spanish culture with its vineyards , sunflowers , mushrooms , olive plantations , windmills , Manchego cheese , and Don Quixote .
