geography

history

In 1900 Jánovas had more than 200 inhabitants.

Because of the planned construction of a reservoir by the Iberduero company since 1951, the local population was forced to sell their land and was later expropriated. This process dragged on from 1961 to 1984 when the last resident was forced to leave the village, which had been largely destroyed by the buildings being blown up. Legal appeals against the expropriation and the planned reservoir were initially unsuccessful until the project was finally stopped in 2001 due to inefficiency and the associated environmental damage. Since then, the families of the former residents have been able to secure the restitution of a large part of their property and the village is in the process of rebuilding.
