Geography of Albacete

Albacete divides between the Manchegan plain in the north and the Sierra de Alcaraz and Sierra del Segura in the south, where many rivers rise and reliefs exceed 1,700 m. The climate is continental and semi-arid, with very hot summers. The black- and Aleppo-pine woods of the southern ranges concentrate the wildfire risk, in contrast to the cereal plain and the esparto steppes of the east. Fun fact: in the Sierra de Alcaraz, the source of the Río Mundo forms the spectacular Los Chorros waterfall.
