La Jara is a comarca located in the Montes de Toledo, at the western end of Toledo Province. It also includes the municipality of Anchuras, an enclave of the province of Ciudad Real, in Castile-La Mancha, Spain. Despite being outside the comarca, the city of Talavera de la Reina holds significant importance for the people of La Jara due to historical ties.

This comarca has been traditionally a place of cattle rearers, with some honey production as well. Nowadays the economy has diversified and the comarca has suffered significant population loss.

The Vía Verde de La Jara is an abandoned railway line that has been converted into a path for hikers.[http://alcazaba.unex.es/~sballop/sballop.html La Vía Verde de La Jara]
