a town of Spain, in the province of New Castile, department and 64 miles S.E. of Cuenca. It occupies an elevated position among wild, rocky, pine-covered mountains, but has an extensive view over a rich plain. It is commanded by a castle, and has some traces of the walls that anciently encircled it and made it a place of great strength. The streets are straight, and the houses well built. The chief edifices are three churches and two former convents, the one now the town-hall, the other the barracks. In the principal square is a fountain. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in farming, and weaving of silks; also in dye-works, distilleries, flour-mills, and other manufactories. Some trade is carried on with Valencia and Castile in agricultural produce and manufactured goods. Pop. 10,404.
