Town near Alcala, known in modern times for the discovery of a Middle Paleolithic site that seemed to show slaughter of mastodons by Homo erectus.
And in one of these skirmishes, a rich Moor was taken who was Alcayde of Acala, which is near Torralva, and they gave him grievous torments till he ransomed himself for ten thousand marks of silver; and moreover he gave the houses which he had in Valencia, which were called the houses of Anaya, to be theirs if peradventure the town should be yielded up.
