The municipality of Alcoba (602 inhabitants in 2018; 30,710 ha) is
located 70 km east north-east of Ciudad Real. The municipality is composed of the villages of Alcoba and Santa Quiteria.
Alcoba, mentioned for the first time in 1105, was named for the Arab
word alquiba, "a vault" or "a public weight". Bartolomé Herrera and
Juan García Valeruelo, however, claim that the village was named for
brook Alcobilla.
