Las Villuercas is a comarca located in the province of Cáceres, western Spain. It belongs to the Autonomous Community of Extremadura.
Despite of the traditional strong identity of its inhabitants, this historical region has not been able to achieve the necessary legal recognition for its administrative development. The comarca has a total of about 9,000 inhabitants.
Its geography is typical of the Meseta Central. The Sierra de Villuercas, also known as Sierra de Guadalupe, which has the highest point of the Montes de Toledo, is part of this comarca.[1]
