The separation of Ojós from Ricote

Historical milestone · Ojós, Valle de Ricote, Murcia

Image of Ojós, not of the place itself.

After the Valle de Ricote was handed over to the Order of Santiago in 1281, Ojós eventually separated from the town of Ricote and obtained its own council within the Santiago encomienda, which allowed it to appoint mayors and councilmen and set its own boundaries, although the lordship of the military order continued to weigh on the place's revenues.
