Dotted around the landscape are circular stone or brick-built structures with domed roofs. At further investigation, they turn out to be wells. Their location is determined where the spring rises, rather than where is convenient and so they are often located in the middle of fields, along a deserted track, or beneath a tree.
5 to remember
un pozo – a well
circular – circular
una estructura – a structure
abovedado/a – domed
un techo – a roof

Notes on a Spanish Valley 
Did you throw a stone down it to see how deep it was?

How fascinating! Built to protect them from the elements? I could easily spend a day traveling around to see these interesting old wells – if I were in the area, of course.

I guess so. They will be wonderfully cool in the summer. SD
