Blanca

Blanca, meaning "white" in Spanish, is a small village located in the Segura valley, a gorgeous natural setting surrounded by mountains and irrigated by the Segura river. The history of Blanca can be linked to the archaeological remains in its 12^th-century castle. Paradoxically, the name Negra, meaning "black", was used to refer to the people who inhabited this area dominated by the sun-calcined Massif. Negra, today's town of Blanca, was a key element of this Moorish valley known as Ricote. El Castillo is the name given by locals to their castle, built on the so-called Peña Negra crag during the many centuries of Islamic domination.
