The Tinença de Culla (Castelló, Spain) is a typical Mediterranean mountain region. With an average altitude of around 1,000 meters above sea level, the lowest peaks are around 600 meters above sea level, while the summit reaches 1,813 meters above sea level at the peak of Penyagolosa.
It is a mountain landscape with forests of pines, holm oaks, oaks and junipers combined with areas of scrub and bushes, where sheep farming reached an enormous degree of specialization, at least since the feudal conquest of the 13th Century.
Consequently, the landscape was articulated by a complex network of pastures, sheepfolds, paths, springs, and troughs. This system constitutes the objective of the research, with the aim of discovering a possible Andalusian origin of at least part of these infrastructures.
