A hamlet dependent on the locality of La Estrella that arose as a small hamlet next to the Merino cattle track to rest the livestock in transit through these lands. In this small town we can discover the authentic popular architecture in its small urban area and on some of the hills in the municipality we can find the remains of ovens, known as lime kilns, which were used in the past to make the lime that would be used to make mortar for masonry. Its heritage also includes a church built in the 18th century.
Lands that possess a rich natural space practically virgin so that those lovers of nature can enter to discover this land where tourism is beginning to arrive timidly.
