Summary/Abstract: Reflections on assorted embodiments of La Mancha led the author to defining it as a “place of the wanderer” and determining the reasons for transition and the assumption of new names as cultural. The article draws attention predominantly to geographical and historical indeterminism in describing a given place as the course of the wanderings of Don Quixote. The “mobility” of La Mancha is associated with treating it as axiotic space associated with Don Quixote-derived values. The article considers assorted domains of the “otherness” of La Mancha.
