Villarroja, the Red Earth

Curiosity · Villarrubia de Santiago, Mesa de Ocaña, Toledo

Image of Villarrubia de Santiago, not of the place itself.

A document of 1576 explains that the town is thought to be called Villarrubia because much of the village and of the land around it is reddish, alluding to the ruddy tone of the soil.
