Image of Membrilla, not of the place itself.

Membrilla is first mentioned by the name Marmelariam in a papal bull of 9 August 1223, in which it appears as a hamlet of Alhambra. It was the first village in the Campo de Montiel known to have become independent from its parent town, an event that took place before 1274.
