Image of Espinosa de Henares, not of the place itself.

Monte Tejer is the most prominent rise in the municipality of Espinosa de Henares, in the comarca of La Campiña (Guadalajara), and has been mentioned since ancient times in the municipality's documents. It lies near the deserted hamlet of Fonciana and marks the visual boundary of the vega. It historically served as the area's main forest and pasture reserve, and its economic value was reflected in medieval inheritances and property transfers, where the hill appeared as the most valuable asset, even above Espinosa itself, then described as a simple house or hamlet.
