Bargas is a municipality of Spain located in the province of Toledo, Castilla–La Mancha.
The municipality spans across a total area of 89.71 km2 and, as of 1 January 2020, it has a population of 10,535.[1]
Despite the ongoing Almoravid razzias in July 1117, Bargas' repopulation started by that time. The original urban settlement was called "Valdeolivas", and it was left forsaken. Bargas enjoys a strong bread-making tradition.[2] French counterrevolutionaries arrived to the village in September 1792. The opening of the Madrid–Lisbon line in 1881 brought a rail connection to Bargas. A Socialist Casa del pueblo was opened in the village in 1907.
