In our quest to learn more about our region, The Alcarria, in past dates Buendía did a tour where we see archeological remains, dug into the stone, which may be a zone, or altar dedicated to strange and secret rites of ancient peoples.
found so close we could not walk called "Muertere" of Garcinarro , where hundreds of graves are reminiscent of mysterious rituals or not really know why.
From Garcinarro direct our journey to Mazarulleque . says José María Alfaro Roca on your blog " Mazarulleque Alcarrian is a small town at the foot of the Sierra de Altamira which is inextricably linked both in their traditions and in their daily lives.
Proof of this is the legend that tells how in medieval time there was a convent, at the top of the mountain, some say of the Templars, perhaps as reminiscent of the similarity of the cross to that shown in the banner of the Order of Mercy, under whose influence was this area from the thirteenth century. ... is documented the existence of a convent, where another evocative tradition that was the temple 'of the seven virgins, "as if it were Vestal.
What would the worship of which is the town's patron, the Virgen de Altamira. Perhaps all these traditions mythography junction with this area (ie. the patron of the nearby town of Jabalera: Santa Brigida) with the possibility of having found geological along large fossil times mammals, in a sense, is the origin of such myths referred to the 'dragon' (This was established a little further south, in the same mountains, in the town of Alcázar del Rey, when he drilled in the tunnel for the passage of the Tajo-Segura).
But surely the most interesting aspect is the enigmatic etymology of the name of the people MAZARULLEQUE. Probably of Arab origin (though barely) is in any other English town. It appears that the appeal would be to use a turret mill (Mazar). But the popular tradition no se conforma con esa interpretación queriendo ver que el señor del pueblo sería un moro de nombre Uleque que los defendía con una enorme Maza. ...
Hoy en día, Mazarulleque está incorporado a La Puebla de Don Francisco, provincia de Cuenca, formado por los pueblos de Garcinarro, Mazarulleque y Jabalera.
La Siega y la Trilla... es una de las tradiciones más populares de la zona.
Las fiestas patronales de Mazarulleque se celebran el primer domingo de agosto y duran tres días. La Virgen de Altomira se festeja el primer domingo de mayo, con una duración de dos días (sábado y domingo), en donde hay romería, banda de música y baile.
"... cuentan que existe una iglesia románica, abandonada en la actualidad, que fue comprada por un escultor para vivir y trabajar en ella. El hombre hizo algo de obra en ella, como hacer en una parte de la iglesia una segunda planta. Pero durante las mismas parece que también hizo otras cosas, como excavar las tumbas de los curas para robarles las joyas. Según cuentan, el hombre comenzó a oír voces y se acabó yendo. ..."
Esta historia de la iglesia también nos la contaron a us, but with the difference that the sculptor had died and were now trying to regain the people.

How can you sell some of the cultural heritage Village? If they had shame would return that heritage to its rightful owner: the people of Mazarulleque.
But in the state of conservation
it should be.
But the surprises did not end there for this visit. Garcinarro back, and just one kilometer Mazarulleque output, and on the right side of the road we find a "cave" carved into the sandstone, like so many others have found in our nearest town (Cañaveras, Canalejas Castejon, Buciegas, etc) and with the same characteristics, namely "mixes" etched on its walls.
