Pozo de la Nieve

“Free of dust and straw”

In keeping with the expression, this is how they wanted the snow to arrive, free of dust from the road and the straw that separates the different layers.

This construction in the form of a cylindrical well located in the town of La Garganta is approximately seven metres in diameter and about ten metres deep.

The Duke of Béjar owned an ice production and distribution business. By the end of the 19th century it was in decline and gradually disappeared completely with the appearance of fridges and iceboxes.
