Almodóvar del Campo

Almodóvar del Campo

Almodóvar del Campo, or Almodóvar, is a town and municipality of Spain, in the province of Ciudad Real, 18 m. S.S.W. of Ciudad Real, on the northern side of the Sierra de Alcúdia. Pop. (1900) 12,525. Almodóvar was a Moorish fortress in the Middle Ages, but contains little of antiquarian interest. It owes its modern prosperity to the nearness of the valuable Puertollano coal-field, 3 m. S. by a branch of the Madrid-Badajoz-Lisbon railway. Its manufactures are lace and linen and it has a brisk trade in livestock, oil and wine. South of the Sierra lies the Alcúdia Valley, used as pasture for immense flocks of sheep.
