The municipality of Aldeanueva de San Bartolomé (locally known as Aldeanovita; 473 inhabitants in 2014; 3,500 ha) is located on the border with Extremadura (Province of Cáceres), 120 km south-west of Toledo.
Aldeanueva (lit., New Settlement) emerged as the hamlet of Toledillo,
probably established by Mozarabic colonists after the reconquest of the
area form the Moors. The early settlers were soon joined by shepherds
from Mohedas, who erected huts near brook Pedroso. The new settlement was documented in the early 15th century as Aldeanueva del Pedroso and
Aldeanueva de Mohedas in 1576. Aldeanovita, a name first documented in
1590, was probably coined for the sake of differentiation from several
other settlements called Aldeanueva. The today's name of the village
appeared in 1752.
