Torralba

Torralba stands between the Alcarria and the Serranía de Cuenca, beneath the remains of a castle on the hill above the village. In the Middle Ages it passed from the authority of Cuenca's council into noble hands; Henry II granted it to a brother of Cardinal Gil de Albornoz. The road through Torralba also formed part of a route used in the sixteenth century to carry wool and cloth from the Cuenca country toward the fairs of Medina del Campo and the merchants of Burgos.
