Curiosity · Jorquera, La Manchuela, Albacete

Image of Jorquera, not of the place itself.

For centuries Jorquera was the head of the seigneurial state that dominated much of La Manchuela. It broke away from the jurisdiction of Cuenca in 1266 and came to have more than three thousand inhabitants, compared with the little over three hundred it has today.
