Zafra de Záncara is a municipality in Cuenca, Autonomous Community of Castile-La Mancha, Spain.

The Zafra de Záncara population has been decreasing since the early twentieth century (2000 inhabitants approx.)

to the present, suffering the same problem of depopulation of rural areas in Spain.

There are remnants of Iberian, Visigoth and Arab settlements, of which few traces remain.

The Arab influences can be seen in the remains of walls and castles and in the layout of most streets.
