The municipality of Ataquines (732 inhabitants in 2009; 4,254 ha) is located in the south-east of Valladolid Province.
Ataquines is named for Ata aquí Inés ("Tie up this, Inés"),
recalling that Queen Isabel once riding to Medina del Campo lost her
shoe and asked her servant Inés to tie it again. More probably, the
village is named for the Ataquines neighboring hills.
Ataquines was granted the title of Royal village in 1633 by King
Philip IV.
On 22 February 1900, the New York Times reported that some 320
houses had been destroyed by a blaze in Ataquines: "There has been a
great loss of livestock and several of the inhabitants have gone mad
as a result of their terrible experience".
