Albacete

Albacete sits on the Meseta Central plateau at 686m elevation, making it a windy cycling hub for central Spain's mountain bike scene. The Copa BTT Desafío Albacete (148km) and BTT Ciudad de Albacete (40km) draw serious riders to the region's rolling terrain and pine forests. Runners have flatter options closer to town—the 10k Nocturna de Albacete stays urban—but training often pushes into the low hills and dirt tracks that ring the city.
