Nature
El Pozuelo (Serranía Alta, Cuenca), at 1,218 metres above sea level, preserves hills of pine, oak, scrubland and other bushes, with broad pastures that sustained a farming and livestock economy for centuries. Wheat, rye, potatoes, beans and vegetables were traditionally grown, and sheep farming was the main livestock activity, supported by two dehesas of excellent-quality pasture, that of Arriba and that of Abajo. The area was also rich in game (hares, partridges, rabbits, wild boar and roe deer) and in trout and barbel fishing.
