El origen del topónimo "Becerro"

Curiosity · Peal de Becerro, Sierra de Cazorla, Jaén

The origin of the name is not settled: some accounts link it to the "calfskin" (piel de becerro) used in footwear or to the shape of the terrain, while another tradition ties it to Isabella the Catholic having calfskins laid out as she passed through the village. Its residents are called "pealeños" or, in reference to the ancient Tugia, "tugienses".
