Geography
Location
The municipality is situated on a hill, in a region which has numerous hills and mountains, of which the highest in the province of Badajoz is Tentudía Mount, with 1,104m.
History
During the Arab domination it was called Al-Caxera, meaning white.
During the reconquest of Seville by Fernando III, King El Santo instructed the Grand Master of the Order of Santiago, Paio Peres Correia, to attack a Saracen army located in the mountain passes, which led to a decisive victory, which led to the captain shouting "Santa Maria stop your day," which has led to a tradition that the sun stood still on the horizon, as in biblical times, to allow Christians the coveted victory. In memory of this miracle the master ordered a temple be built atop the highest mountain, which was elevated to the status of monastery by Pope Leo X in 1514. The construction of this temple, which gave the town large amounts of revenue, led to Calera de León becoming one of the most significant towns of the Order of Santiago.

Claro De Luna
by: Ana GabrielCamino sin saber
a dónde te puedo encontrar
recuerdos dentro de mi
Te busco en el silencioso azul
de las olas del mar
te has ido y no sé vivir
Sigo esperando bajo el cielo gris
que vuelvas a mi
grito de ausencia que quiere morir
Pido al olvido que se lleve tus
recuerdos de aquí
Claro de luna que llora por ti
En vano te he esperado
que vuelvas a mi lado
te busco y no te encuentro
perdida en el silencio
Claro de luna que llora por ti
mira al cielo y escucha
que yo estoy aquí
suspirando por ti
suspirando por ti
Me voy perdiendo lentamente
en los sueños de ayer
mis labios pidiendo amor
Dejando huellas de la historia
que no pudo ser
Tan sólo me da su adiós
sigo esperando bajo el cielo gris
que vuelvas a mi
grito de ausencia que quiere morir
Pido al olvido que se lleve tus
recuerdos de aquí
Claro de luna que llora por ti
En vano te he esperado
que vuelvas a mi lado
te busco y no te encuentro
perdida en el silencio
Claro de luna que llora por ti
mira al cielo y escucha
que yo estoy aquí
suspirando por ti
suspirando por ti
Claro de luna
en vano te he esperado
ya no me escuchas
te quiero a mi lado
