Fountains and rock pools of Alcadozo

Nature · Alcadozo, Sierra de Alcaraz y Campo de Montiel, Albacete

Image of Alcadozo, not of the place itself.

A network of ten fountains and springs, twenty-eight wells and cisterns, and six natural rock basins and pools that dot the ravines of the municipal area. Among the fountains, the Fuente de la Ventosa stands out, already mentioned in the medieval chronicles of Alcaraz as a boundary marker, and among the basins, the Calderón del Moro, which preserves petroglyphs. These hollows in the rock have traditionally been used to collect rainwater.
