- Abstract
This article presents a study on the traditional use of the cade oil (miera in Spanish) and the cade oil ovens in the province of Albacete (Spain). Cade oil is the vegetable tar that is obtained by dry distillation of prickly juniper wood (Juniperus oxycedrus L.), used especially as a disinfectant by shepherds and ranchers. This process take place in specific ovens called mereras, miereras or miera ovens. These elements appear in various documentary sources, they are kept in the toponymy and even there are some ovens scattered in Albacete province, in different states of conservation.
