The municipality of Buenache de Alarcón (446 inhabitants in 2018, 6,416
ha; municipal website) is located 60 km due south of Cuenca.
Buenache de Alarcón appears to have been named for Axenia, the pre-Roman
town located on the banks of brook Torrejón, from which a necropolis
dated to the Age of Iron (400 BC) was excavated.
After the Christian reconquest, the area was incorporated to the Common
of the Town and Land of Alarcón.
Buenache de Alarcón is the birth place of Father Andrés Marcos Burriel y López (1719-1762). Appointed Professor of Philosophy at the Imperial College in 1745 and at the College of the Society of Jesus in Alcalá de Henares in 1747, he was commissioned by Father Rávago, confessor of King Ferdinand VI, and by the Marquess de la Ensanada to study the archives of the Toledo cathedral, from which he transcribed some 1,000 documents.
