Pozoblanco
Pozoblanco () is a town in the Córdoba Province, Spain, province of Córdoba, southern Spain, in the north-central part of the Autonomous communities of Spain, autonomous community of Andalusia. It is located near the headwaters of the Guadamatillas and other small sub-tributaries of the Guadiana, in the lowlands of Los Pedroches, which lie between the Sierra de la Alcildia on the north and the Sierra Morena on the south. It is the birthplace of the novelist Rafael Peñas Cruz and the composer Lorenzo Palomo. History Pozoblanco, like other nearby towns such as Villanueva de Córdoba, probably originated in the mid 14th century when residents of Pedroche fled from the bubonic plague. Alternatively, Pozoblanco may have begun as a small outpost that developed over time as residents of Pedroche were forced to pasture their livestock further and further from the town. Another possibility is that Pozoblanco was founded by a Jewish community, perhaps after being expelled from Pedroche. ...
