a city of Spain, in the province of Jaen, in Andalucia. It is situated near the mouth of the Jandula, on the south side of the Sierra Morena, which defends it from the cold winds of the north. There is an old bridge over the Guadalquivir at this place. The surrounding country is well watered, and yields abundant harvests of wheat, barley, oil, and wine; and numerous hives of bees furnish abundant supplies of honey and wax. From a whitish clay found here, they manufacture a kind of jars called alcarasas, which are highly esteemed for their property of keeping water cool in the hottest summer weather. It contains a castle, five churches, several monasteries, a theatre, and 10,000 inhabitants. Long. 4° 1'. W. Lat. 38° 1'. 32'. N.
