Manzaneque, the village of apples

Curiosity · Manzaneque, Montes de Toledo, Toledo

The place name Manzaneque, in the Montes de Toledo, is related to the word manzana (apple in Spanish) and points to the abundance of apple trees that must once have grown there, now vanished. The name has changed over the centuries: in the 13th century the place was recorded as Manzanech, and by the 16th century it already appears written as Mançaneque, a form closer to the current one.
