ES-314870 Almansa

Almansa is a Spanish town and municipality in the province of Albacete, part of the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha.  Almansa has more than 25,000 inhabitants.

From 30 April to 6 May, Almansa holds a series of festivals in honour of Nuestra Señora de Belén (Our Lady of Bethlehem).  The Moros y Cristianos festival is one of them.

Almansa is built at the foot of a white limestone crag which is surmounted by a Moorish castle (the Castle of Almansa).

This postcard from RosanaB (1 October 2014) Postcrossing shows a winter scene featuring the Castle and the City Hall with its interesting façade.
