Village · Montejo de Arévalo, Comunidad de Ciudad y Tierra de Segovia, Segovia

Montejo de Arévalo is a village in the Campiña Segoviana, with 158 inhabitants (INE 2025) over 35.95 km² bordering Ávila and Valladolid; until the early 20th century it was called Montejo de la Vega de Arévalo, for belonging to the tercio and sexmo of the city of Arévalo, through which the area's grain and livestock trade passed. A small hill of holm oaks near the town gave the place its name. The Adaja river runs through it, and its economy is based on growing cereals, vines and chickpeas, together with sheep and pig farming. Its church of Santo Tomás, of Gothic-Mudéjar origin, preserves windows and doors with alfices of the esquinillas type, and holds a Romanesque image of Nuestra Señora de los Huertos from the cemetery hermitage.
