Albacete is a city in the province of Albacete, in the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha, Spain. Covering 1,141 sq km (440.7 sq mi), it has a population of 170,000 people (2012 estimate). The city is 258 km to the southeast of Madrid.

Albacete is not much of a tourist destination. Nevertheless among the sights worth visiting include its cathedral and the Albacete Provincial Museum. The Cathedral of Juan de Albacete was begun in 1515 but was only completed in 1959. The present façade is in the Romanesque Revival style. The Albacete Provincial Museum was established in 1927. It focuses on regional civilization and art.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
