Why Albacete in enero

TThree Kings parade on January 5 down Calle Ancha to the fairground, with sweets handed out to children along the route.

Deadest month of the year — the Modernist Pasaje de Lodares arcade and the Knife Museum without a single queue.

Dry highland cold at 2,300 ft with dawn frosts near freezing — peak season for atascaburras and gazpacho manchego in the taverns.
