Talavera la Nueva is a small town in Spain. It's part of a bigger area called Talavera de la Reina. It's known as an EATIM, which means it's a special kind of local area that's smaller than a full city or town.
History of Talavera la Nueva
Talavera la Nueva is located about 5 kilometers (3 miles) away from the main city of Talavera de la Reina. It was created by a group called the Instituto Nacional de Colonización (INC). This happened during the time of the Francoist dictatorship, a period when Spain was ruled by General Franco.
The town was planned to be a place for cattle farming. This means people would raise cows and other animals there. Even though the town was officially opened on October 5, 1956, people had already been living there for a few years before that.
