CHOZÓN It is a country structure dating from the Middle Ages in the regions of Spain. It is built with Sabina wood so in Castilla la Mancha they are very popular and are known as sabineros huts, where they can be seen in the reserve of the Parque del Tajos, in groups of 4 to 8 units. They were used to enclose goats and other cattle. As detailed in the Network of Protected Areas of Castilla-La Mancha, they are found in groups of four to eight huts "as small seasonal populations". They are constructions made of juniper wood and limestone, so they are "the only building materials present in the rocky parameras", Although they have evolved slowly you can still see some primitives formed by a circular perimeter wall of dry masonry of limestone, raised around a large juniper. To this juniper was joined a radial network of logs that would form the cover. "All this timber was done by simple assembly, without nails or clamping ropes." Finally, there was a fence with smaller branches on the goats that were renewed every two or three years "to prevent water from entering the hut and deteriorating the structure". With the passage of time and the change in grazing techniques, the huts were also changing, being built with square plan, adding corrals and "reaching the most evolved structure of room type without using pillars to increase the useful space".
