Hita, Administrative division in La Alcarria, Guadalajara, Spain
Hita is a municipality in the La Alcarria region of Guadalajara province. The town sits at approximately 876 meters in elevation and covers around 56 square kilometers of land.
Fernando García ruled Hita until 1125 and laid the groundwork for the town's governance. From this period came the establishment of structures that would shape the region's development.
The medieval poet Juan Ruiz, known as the Archpriest of Hita, originated from this town and created his celebrated literary work here. His legacy continues to shape how people understand this small place in Spain's cultural history.
The town operates in the Central European Time zone and follows summer time adjustments. Visitors should be prepared for standard Spanish administrative conditions when planning a visit.
The town is home to only about 300 residents but administers a large territory in Castile-La Mancha. This combination of historical importance and current small size reveals much about rural transformation in Spain.
