Povedilla
Village
Povedilla is a municipality in the comarca of Sierra de Alcaraz y Campo de Montiel, in the southwest of Albacete, 91 km from the provincial capital and bordering Ciudad Real, at 825 m of altitude; separated from Alcaraz, it already appears as its own entity in the 1857 census and today has 374 inhabitants (INE 2025). Its economy is agricultural and livestock-based, with cereal, olive and sunflower crops, and hunting is an important resource that attracts visitors, along with hiking. The Cerro Coyao dominates the settlement, and its cemetery is a place of interest for its funerary architectural elements. On 25 April it holds the open-air pilgrimage of San Marcos, and as its main festivals those of the Virgen del Rosario on the first Sunday of October, with bullfighting festivities.
