The historic Fairground explains Albacete's relationship with trade and celebration. Built in 1783 on the Santa Catalina threshing grounds, it gave the fair a permanent architectural presence, recognisable even outside its main festive period. Its plan and entrances tell a different story from a traditional square or museum. One distinction is essential: seeing the enclosure does not mean stalls, concerts, rides or performances operate every day. Check the calendar, visiting conditions and accessible areas before setting out; outside events, the experience may mainly involve the exterior. This extension lies in another direction from Abelardo Sánchez Park, so organise your journey deliberately rather than adding both outings without considering distance, time and energy remaining after the central walk.
