The municipality of Pollos (714 inhabitants in 2009; 5,051 ha) is
located in the southwest of Valladolid Province, 40 km from Valladolid.
Pollos is said to have been named after Queen Joan the Mad once sent
to the village servants to retrieve chickens (pollos); however, the
name of the village already appears on a document dated 1 June 1237,
nearly three centuries before the alleged event. In 1560, King Philip
II sold the village to Francisco de Dueñas Holmaza.
