What to see and do in Pozo-Lorente

Pozo-Lorente
Village
Pozo-Lorente is a municipality in the comarca of La Manchuela, in the province of Albacete, with 398 inhabitants and belonging to the judicial district of Casas-Ibáñez. It was called Pozollorente until 1857 and in the Middle Ages formed part of the Estado de Jorquera, within the Marquesado de Villena. Its economy revolves around cereal and vineyard farming, with a wine-growing cooperative, and small game hunting. Its town centre is presided over by the 18th-century church of Santa Ana, the centre of the town's life. The patronal festivals are held on 3 May, in honour of the Santa Cruz, and on 26 July, in honour of Santa Ana, although its most participatory celebration is the open-air pilgrimage of San Isidro, on 15 May.

Curiosity
Pozo-Lorente, in the Albacete Manchuela, belonged during the Middle Ages to the State of Jorquera, within the Marquisate of Villena, and was called Pozollorente until it adopted its present name in 1857. Pascual Madoz's geographical dictionary, in 1849, describes the village set in a valley surrounded by hills, with 102 houses, a primary school and the church of Santa Ana, and an economy based on the farming of wheat, rye, barley, saffron and wine, together with livestock raising.
