Small municipality located on the road that connects Ciudad Real with Puertollano. On the so-called Mount Nogales are the remains of the castle, with a pentagonal keep and remains of a "U"-shaped wall. It is accessed by a path next to the hermitage of Santo Cristo, of popular typology. In the town, the parish church, from the 18th century, and a house where Garcilaso de la Vega lived, very restored, with a coat of arms. It is the town with the smallest municipal area. The name of this municipality derives from the one used in Arabic, which in turn came from Roman times, taking it from a primitive indigenous word, and can therefore be considered one of the oldest place names in the region. In any case, it does not seem that it is exclusive to this municipality, since in the area of Los Cortijos there is an annex, stream and port of Caracuel.
