Hellín

Hellín is an administrative center in Albacete Province in southeastern Spain, situated near the Sierra del Pino mountains. The town comprises established residential neighborhoods and commercial zones connected by local roads.

The settlement grew from the ancient Roman city of Ilunum and developed over centuries into a regional administrative center. This continuous growth shaped its role in Castile-La Mancha through to the present day.

The Santa María de la Asunción church with its Gothic architecture anchors the town center and hosts the Easter processions. Drummers who march through the streets during these celebrations form a distinctive part of local traditions.

The railway station provides strong transportation connections to major cities like Murcia and Albacete for visitors arriving by train. Local road networks are well organized, making it easy to navigate through the town on foot or by car.

The local economy combines traditional esparto grass processing with modern industries such as fruit canning and hydroelectric power generation. This blend of old and new shows how traditional crafts have integrated into contemporary production.
