a town of Spain, in the province of Cordova, about 28 miles S.E. of that city. It is situated in a fertile valley near the source of the river of the same name, and contains about 1346 houses. It has a college with classes for the study of philosophy, mathematics, languages, and design, and several public and private schools. The fields of clay in the neighbourhood afford materials for a considerable trade in bricks and pottery; and there is an abundant supply of wine, vinegar, oil, and flour, from the surrounding agricultural districts. The manufacture of coarse linen, woollen, and hempen stuffs is considerable. There are some interesting Moorish remains to be seen in the town and suburbs. Rev. 9576.
