Presentation of Pescueza

The municipality of Pescueza (148 inhabitants in 2019 vs. 736 in 1950; 5,200 ha; municipal website) is located 75 km north-west of A HREF="es-cc-cc.html">Cáceres and 20 km south-west of Coria.

Pescueza was first mentioned in 1479 in a document establishing the limits of the village, and, again, in 1497. The village was then mentioned in 1530 in a census performed by Tomás González, probably for the Diocese of Coria-Cáceres; at the time, Pescueza counted 320 inhabitants, 80 tax-payers included.
Pescueza belonged to the Marquisate of Coria, part of the Duchy of Alba.

Pescueza has been organizing since 2008 El Festivalino, "the world's smallest festival", which includes theater, a candy workshop with the village's elders, and 15 concerts. Attendance increased from 1,000 in 2008 to 10,000 in 2019.
Since 65% of the population is aged more than 60, the municipality has transformed Pescueza in a village for the elders, who still live in their house but are provided an array of dedicated services.
