▪ Chile
      city, central Chile, lying inland, 60 miles (100 km) from the Pacific coast, in the fertile Central Valley. Founded in 1755 as San Javier de Bella Isla, it was renamed San Ambrosio de Linares in 1794, and its present name became official in 1875. The city is a commercial and agricultural centre dealing in grains, fruits, vegetables, and livestock and has dairies, tanneries, and flour mills. Both the Pan-American Highway and the main north-south railroad pass through Linares, and a branch line leads to the Termas (hot springs) de Panimávida, 17 miles northeast. Pop. (2002) 65,133.

▪ Spain
      town, north-central Jaén provincia (province), situated in the comunidad autonóma (autonomous community) of Andalusia, southern Spain, in the southern foothills of the Sierra Morena just northwest of the Guadalimar River. The town is connected by branch railways with lead mines on its northwestern outskirts. The smelting of lead, the manufacture of lead sheets and pipes, and the production of by-product silver from the lead ores are significant economic activities, but much of the source lead has been depleted. Auto parts and farming machinery are also manufactured in Linares, and foodstuffs are processed there as well. Immediately to the south of Linares is the village of Cazlona, where the remains of the ancient Iberian settlement of Cástulo are found. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 61,262.
