Albacete
Albacete is a city and municipality in southeastern Spain, 278 km southeast of Madrid, the capital of the  province of Albacete in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. The municipality had a population of 152,115 in 2002.The settlement was named Al-Basit, "the simple," by the Arabs. The city has been known as a center for the manufacture of fine daggers, scissors, and knives. An assembly plant of Eurocopter, a subsidiary of EADS, is currently under construction and will begin operating in 2007. Although Albacete has never been considered a city with industrial tradition, the industrial area in the city, known as Polígono de Campollano, has recently been expanded as it's one of the biggest industrial concentrations in Spain. The local government is pushing to make Albacete a logistic center in the Southeastern part of Spain.
