a town of Extremadura in Spain, famous for its baths. It is seated in a very agreeable valley surrounded with high mountains whose tops are always covered with snow. Here the dukes of Bejar have an handsome palace. In this neighbourhood are forests filled with game, and watered by fine springs; also a lake abounding with excellent fish, particularly trouts. They pretend that this lake makes such a noise before a storm, that it may be heard 15 miles off.
