Also read as Alilon. Considered to be modern Ayllon, although scholars question whether even its watch-towers could be seen from the route described for the Cid.

• Book III Chapter XXV:

  That night my Cid lay at Spinar de Can, and people flocked to him from all parts, and early on the morrow he set out; Santestevan lay on his left hand, which is a good city, and Ahilon on the right, which belongs to the Moors, and he passed by Alcobiella, which is the boundary of Castille.
