Afterwards, La Mancha was also divided into Mancha Alta and Mancha Baja, according to the level and flow of its rivers, including the first one the northeast part, from Villarubia de los Ojos until Belmonte, country of the old Iberian Lamitans, and the second one the southwest part, including Campo de Calatrava and Campo de Montiel, old country of the Iberian Oretans.

A 'Man of La Mancha' is what cervantes knows his invetion Don Quixote as. At the end of the musical Man of La Mancha the governer says to him: 'I think Don Miguel (de cervantes) is brother to Don Quixote.and he replies:'God bless us, we are both men of la mancha.' (this is a very beautiful scene. After this Cervantes and Sancho go to appear before the inquisition)This means to be a man of la mancha is to see the world through the eyes of Don Quixote, seeing life as it should be not as it is. And sometimes, mad.
