Presentation of Santibáñez el Bajo

The municipality of Santibáñez el Bajo (756 inhabitants in 2019; 4,615 ha; municipal website) is located 100 km north of Cáceres.
Santibáñez el Bajo is named for Latin Sancti Ohoannes, St. John. The villge was part of the Kingdom of León, depending on the Community of the Town and Land of Granada (a depopulated place of Granadilla).

In the first half of the 19th century, Santibáñez el Bajo was the den of the emblematic band of rascals self-styled Los Muchachos de Santibáñez. The band was mostly composed of former guerillas of the War of Independence who were not rewarded as promised; at a time where no collective structure (political parties, unions) existed to vehicle social protest, those bands appeared as primitive challengers of the pre-capitalistic system. Rabidly opposed to both absolutism and liberalism, Los Muchachos de Santibáñez are considered by some historians as the forerunners of the anarchist movements in Extremadura. Supported by the local lower classes, the rebels were severely repressed, especially in Santibáñez, being sentenced to death, jailing for the rest of their life, and huge fines.
