The municipality of Atalaya del Cañavate (95 inhabitants in 2018; 4,660
ha; municipal website) is located 100 km south of Cuenca.
Atalaya del Cañavate emerged around a watch tower (atalaya). "del
Cañavate", used for the sake of differentiation from other villages
called Atalaya, may refer either to a castle located in Cañavate or to
the incorporation of the place to Cañavate, ordered on 22 June 1478 by
the Catholic Monarchs.
Atalaya del Cañavate was granted the status of villa in 1637, upon
request of Juan Pacheco, Marquis of Villena.
