Requena-Utiel

Requena-Utiel (Spanish: [reˈkena uˈtjel]; Valencian: Plana d'Utiel [ˈplana ðutiˈɛl]) is a comarca currently in the province of Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain. The area was transferred to this province in 1851, as a result of a reform of the 1833 territorial division of Spain; before that it was a part of the Crown of Castile and of the former province of Cuenca. The inhabitants of the comarca have traditionally been monolingual in Spanish, i.e. they are not Valencian speakers.
