dbo:abstract
  • Cigarral refers to recreational estates or mansions located in the south edge of the Tagus river to its passage by the city of Toledo, Spain, with a main construction intended for recreational housing, a secondary building for the guardians (cigarraleros) who take care of the house to be second residence and, most important and characteristic, its large field, which is limited to a minimum of 7000 m2, being common until half of the 20th century surfaces around 20 000 m2. The origin of the word cigarral is unknown. The most commonly used version comes from the seasonal presence of cicadas (Spanish: cigarras) in the summer months, which were the main use of these residences. There are other versions that relate the origin of the word to the conjunction of two Arabic words that refer to recreational house. (en)
