The locomotive in Albacete's Linear Park is a very special piece of history: the Mikado 141F-2415 steam locomotive, a monument that pays tribute to the city's railway past.

With the patronage of "John the Baptist," this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: 'In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!'" (Lutheran Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself would give birth to Jesus Christ, and her—until then childless—relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of San Juan Bautista in the calendar of saints is June 24.

The Cathedral of San Juan Bautista in Albacete is an impressive Catholic temple located in the historic center of the city. Its construction began in 1515 on the remains of an old Mudejar church and was completed in 1949. The cathedral combines several architectural styles, including Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-Gothic.

This park is ideal for outdoor activities such as picnics, walks and sports. It has large grass lawns, swing areas, multi-sport courts, a skating rink and a BMX circuit. There is also a restaurant-picnic area where you can taste typical regional dishes.

The Albacete Linear Park has several fountains, but one of the most notable is the Fountain of the Frogs. This fountain is known for its frog sculptures and ornamental design, which makes it a point of interest and a popular spot for visitors to the park.

The Albacete Linear Park is a large urban park that runs through the city from northwest to southeast. This park is home to the Mikado Locomotive, a monument that pays tribute to the railway. This steam locomotive, the Mikado model, was built in 1960 and is located in front of the old Flour Factory.

If you pass by the path next door, it is worth detouring a few meters to this point. The views of the entire area from this height are very good.

Saint John the Baptist (San JUAN BAUTISTA), to whom the cathedral (bishop's church) in Albacete is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth, and after the announcement of the incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The memorial day of San JUAN BAUTISTA in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
