Albacete History and Attractions: A modern industrial city with a population of around 150,000, Albacete is the capital of a province of the same name, located in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain. Taking its name from the Arabic al-basit (the plain), it has some history, though mostly grew up after the mosquito infested swamps in the area, were drained in the 19th century.
