Pozorrubielos de la Mancha
Village
A municipality in the comarca of La Manchuela Conquense, in the province of Cuenca, made up of the three settlements of Pozoseco, Rubielos Altos and Rubielos Bajos, spread over 73.51 square kilometres of mostly flat territory once past the depression of the Júcar river. Rubielos Bajos, the largest and municipal capital, preserves a pillory of justice crowned with a Caravaca cross and the church of San Ginés, built in 1782, with frescoes of the four evangelists; it celebrates its festivities in honour of San Ginés in August and Santa Bárbara in December, with the traditional puñao. Rubielos Altos has its own church, that of San Ildefonso, and in Pozoseco, well served by the A-3, the most notable celebration is Corpus Christi. Together they have 166 inhabitants (INE 2025).
