Where is Quero Located?

Quero is about 107 kilometers (66 miles) east of the city of Toledo. Long ago, in 1162, during a time called the Reconquista (when Christian kingdoms took back land from Muslim rule in Spain), the lands around Quero belonged to a group called the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Later, in 1241, these lands were given to the leader of Consuegra.

Quero is also near a fairly large pond known as Laguna Grande. The town is located in a region called a comarca, which is like a local district. This specific comarca is named Mancha Alta de Toledo, after the famous historical region of La Mancha.
