History
Part of the Campo Arañuelo,[3] the settlement dates at least from the late 13th century.[4] The hamlet of Lagartera belonged to the lordship of Oropesa, which segregated from the land of Ávila in the late 13th century.[5] Lagartera was granted township on 21 January 1642.[6] The village of Lagartera is renowned for its centuries-old tradition of embroidery, needlework and lace-making.[7]
