Are you kidding when your say you don't understand Vázquez? I guess you are. It's a surname, anyway.

[Alfonso]

You both got it. I think you can compare each other for clarification.
Since carcamal hasn't got a tilde, it's pronounced like a palabra aguda: /kar ka mál/.

Some more for you:

• Contemporaneo
• Celeste.
• Preciso.
• Candido.
• Joven.
• Avestruz.
• Jolin.
• Madrid.
• Chimenea.
• Muerdago.
• Aclaracion.
• Reves.
• Corazon.
• Tendre.
• Canoa.
• Habia.

[María José]

Spot on, Jane. Carcamal has the stress on the last syllable and it means somebody who is very old.

You are right. And not only once, but twice...
