Traguntía: Dolmen, Dehesa and Holiday Apartment

When choosing a holiday apartment in Traguntía, the local history, municipal landscape and trails can be considered as separate areas of focus. One particularly tangible landmark is the La Casa del Moro I dolmen in Traguntía (Pozos de Hinojo): significant remains of the burial mound are still visible, including several stone slabs from the chamber.

Nature

The municipality of Pozos de Hinojo features rolling terrain with small plateaus. The soils are thin and lie over granite; the Río Huerba also runs through the municipality. The municipality’s landscape includes dehesa areas with numerous holm oaks and oak trees.

Relief, underlying rock, the river course and the tree-covered landscape offer different perspectives on the immediate surroundings. The small plateaus and the dehesa with holm oaks and oak trees represent different landscape elements, while the Río Huerba provides its own spatial reference as it runs through the municipality.

Trails and Routes

The municipality of Pozos de Hinojo has hiking and horse-riding trails that are used as ecotourism routes. A circular route of approximately 13 kilometres leads from Escuernavacas via Traguntía and then to Pozos. The final kilometres run along the road to Vitigudino.

In addition to the circular route, the municipality has hiking and horse-riding trails. For planning a day out, these types of activity can be considered separately and combined with the landscape and cultural themes of Traguntía and Pozos de Hinojo.

The type of activity, approximate distance and route described are three independent points of reference for planning a day out. Even with different interests, landscape, culture and physical activity can therefore be weighted separately.

If you are considering a holiday apartment in Traguntía, travel dates, apartment or room category and cancellation conditions can be read separately. This places the accommodation details alongside specific local information about the dolmen, dehesa, church and circular route without conflating their content.

Culture and History

Inés Luna Terrero lived for a large part of her life at the El Cuartón estate in Traguntía. Traguntía is also home to the Iglesia de San Ildefonso. Roman inscriptions originate from Traguntía.

In the surroundings of Traguntía are the Aula Arqueológica de Yecla de Yeltes museum and the historic site of Castro de Yecla la Vieja. Distinguishing between the destinations in the village and those in the surrounding area keeps their geographical context clear when planning.

The celebrations held in Traguntía in 2016 in honour of San Ildefonso included traditional religious ceremonies. These were followed by a communal feast and music performed by a tambourine player from Vitigudino.
