Fuencemillán
Village
Fuencemillán is a municipality of the La Campiña comarca, in the province of Guadalajara, about 36 km from the capital. It sits on a platform that forms a natural balcony over the valley of the Henares, at 847 metres altitude, and its hydrography depends on seasonal streams and the nearby river Aliendre. Its place name, of Arabic or Romance origin, means spring of Millán, referring to the historical importance of its springs, and its coat of arms displays two crossed shotguns recalling the weight of hunting in the municipal area. It had 334 inhabitants in the mid-19th century and reached its historical peak in 1860, with 402; rural exodus towards Madrid and the provincial capital reduced the population to the current 81 inhabitants (INE 2025).
