La Sagra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Sagra is a region in central Spain lying between the cities of Madrid and Toledo. In a wider sense, it includes municipalities belonging to both the south of the Community of Madrid and the north of the province of Toledo.[1] In a more restricted sense, concerning the municipalities in Castilla−La Mancha, the Toledan Sagra includes municipalities in the right (north) bank of the Tagus up to the northern provincial border with the Madrid region, whilst its Western limits are moot.[2]
The placename comes from the Arabic Al-Saqra, 'cultivated field'.[3]
Extending across roughly 1,100 km2, the Toledan Sagra features a generally flat landscape.[4]
In the 21st-century, the area has experienced robust demographic growth and a boom of logistics.[5]
