El Pilar

El Pilar is a residential district in the northwestern section of Albacete, divided by the Circunvalación, a major traffic route through the city. The area includes two public schools, Cristóbal Colón and Diego Velázquez, and multiple bus stops serving the neighborhood.

The neighborhood developed during the 20th century as a residential area for Albacete's growing population. The Church of Our Lady of Pilar was designed by architect Luis García de la Rasilla Navarro-Reveter and blends classical elements with regional design influences.

The Sociocultural Center El Pilar "José Oliva" serves as a meeting point where residents gather for events and classes throughout the year. It reflects how this neighborhood functions as a social center for people living in the area.

The neighborhood is easily accessible by public buses that connect to other parts of the city with regular service. Daily shopping and local services are within walking distance for residents.

The Los Titis area between El Pilar and the Feria district is known for its nightlife and outdoor seating areas. It draws people in the evenings when the social scene comes alive.
