Noble Junta de Cabezuelas, Medieval administrative council in Segovia Province, Spain
The Noble Junta de Cabezuelas operates as a governing institution responsible for managing the Cambrones River and its water channels across multiple municipalities.
Established around 1200, the council received formal recognition from the Catholic Monarchs in 1491, granting specific rights over water management in the region.
Every last Saturday of May, residents gather for the Day of Cacera Mayor de Cambrones to clean the main water channel, maintaining a centuries-old tradition.
The council divides water management responsibilities into 50 channels across municipalities including Palazuelos de Eresma, Trescasas, San Cristóbal de Segovia, and La Lastrilla.
Water Shepherds, appointed by the council, maintain traditional roles in resolving water distribution issues through the ancient channel system.
