It is the birthplace of Álvaro de Luna and the origin of the Sephardic Jewish family Canetti (the most famous member of which is Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Elias Canetti); Canetti is a transformation of Cañete, from a time when the family lived in Italy. It is also the birthplace of Manuel Polo y Peyrolón, an ultraconservative philosopher and scholar of clear antisemitic penchant.
