As you pass through the Toledo pastureland, south of the San Vicente mountain range, you pass by numerous cattle ranches surrounded by stones. A setting that could be the very definition of bucolic.

The place name Pelahustán seems to derive from the activity related to looms and the sale of linen that the population had in the past. In documents from the 18th century, it appears as Pelafustan. According to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, the concept of pelafustán is equated with that of pelagatos, which in turn means “insignificant or mediocre person, without social or economic position.” The town also had several water mills worked by Salamancan teleworkers. Pelahustán is located at an altitude of 673 meters above sea level and borders the terms of Higuera de las Dueñas in the province of Ávila, Nombela, Nuño Gómez, Garciotum and El Real de San Vicente in the province of Toledo, and Ceniientos in the Community of Madrid 😊
