In said document Alfonso VIII donates to Alfonso Téllez the town of Montalbán with its corresponding terms: Template:Citatioe In another document dated May 26, 1357, where Pedro I granted the lordship of Valdepusa to Diego Gómez, senior notary, it appears as Nava luezillos :
«... give us justice in the Valdepusa lordship, Talauera district that starts from the Alcachal fasta in the Tajo river, as well as part with Mal pyca and with Montaluán and with Nava luezillos ...».
— Pedro I of Castile, May 26, 1357. [2]

Between the 15th century and the 17th century, Los Navalucillos led the region economically, receiving migration mainly from neighboring Extremadura.
The moment of greatest splendor of the town was the 18th century whose ecclesiastical union, achieved by Cardinal Lorenzana, was seconded by an administrative union of the two Navalucillos, Navalucillos de Talavera de la Reina and Navalucillos from Toledo.
In the middle of the 19th century it had 500 houses and the municipal budget amounted to 25,590 reals. [3] At that time there was a iron foundry established by José Safont in the Mazo area next to the Pusa River. The factory was supplied with extractions from "los arrumbales, los acebales, crags de Juan Antón, de la Ermita y de los Lagares", [3] in the municipality of Los Navalucillos, and from the mines of Herrera in Los Navalmorales.
The town experienced its greatest demographic increase in the 1950s, with a population of approximately 7000 inhabitants.
Currently, Los Navalucillos tries to return to those moments of splendor, promoting activities oriented to rural tourism, or the expansion of the Cabañeros National Park at the end of the 2000s.

The Aqueduct of Algeciras is one of the most important buildings in Algeciras, Spain. Numerous textbooks, dictionaries and guidebooks cite this building as Arabic or Roman but it was built in the eighteenth century.
The siege of Algeciras (1369) was undertaken during the period of the Reconquest of Spain by Muhammed V, Sultan of Granada to reclaim the city of Al-Hadra Al-Yazirat, called Algeciras by the Christians, in the Kingdom of Castile. The siege lasted just three days, and the sultan was victorious. The Muslims thus regained a major city which had been in Castilian hands since Alfonso XI of Castile took it from the Moroccans after the long 1342–1344 siege. Ten years after the capture of the city, in 1379 the sultan of Granada decided to completely destroy the city to prevent it falling into Christian hands. It was impossible to defend the place at a time when the Muslim kings of the Iberian Peninsula had lost much of military power they enjoyed in earlier centuries.
