History of Matabuena
The name "Matabuena" has a special meaning. It comes from "Mata Buena," which means "good forest" or "good timber." This tells us that long ago, this area was full of valuable trees, especially good oak trees. There was also a nearby place called "Matamala," meaning "bad forest," which had trees of poorer quality, like ash. Matabuena is also one of the villages that belong to the larger town of Pedraza.
