Description
El Nevero de Cantavieja is a traditional snow well that can be visited, catalogued as a museum-type heritage tourism resource in Cantavieja, province of Teruel, Aragon. Its location corresponds to the coordinates 40.52572, -0.40675, in the surroundings of the municipality and in relation to the historical tradition of snow storage in the Maestrazgo. It is an infrastructure linked to the use and conservation of snow for later use, a very characteristic typology of popular and pre-industrial mountain architecture. In the tourist sources consulted, it is expressly presented as a "traditional snow well that can be visited", which confirms its heritage and informative function. The sources reviewed do not give an exact date of construction or a specific architectural style; therefore, it should not be attributed a specific chronology without further documentary verification. Its interest lies in the ethnographic and historical value of this type of traditional соооружение, testimony of the ancient economies of subsistence and supply in the interior of Teruel. As a visitable resource, it is part of the heritage offer of Cantavieja and contributes to explain the relationship of the village with its mountain landscape and with the historical uses of ice and snow.
