Villanueva de Alcardete

Image of Villanueva de Alcardete, not of the place itself.

Charles I granted the town in 1520 the title of Loyal for having stayed on his side against the troops of bishop Acuña during the War of the Communities, and accompanied the favor with a grant over salt. The municipal coat of arms preserves the memory.
