Moraleja (Spanish: [moɾaˈlexa] ⓘ) is a municipality located in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain. It is the most important town in the Sierra de Gata comarca. The Postal Code is 10128. In 1915 there was a massacre at the Finca the Malladas, the farm owned by Agustín, the second Count of Malladas. Five people were slain, among them two children[2]. Five local men were arrested for the crime, but many believe they were framed[3].
The Town Hall is currently heavily indebted.[4] This municipality is included in the Sierra de Gata comarca, although it is in the Árrago River basin, geographically not in the mountainous area of the Sierra de Gata.
