Located in the Gévalo Valley, this village is a hamlet of Robledo del Mazo that preserves the popular architecture with a mountain flavour. The village must have been founded in the mid-17th century; its first settlers were shepherds or cowboys who came down from Robledillo and grazed with their cattle along the river Gévalo. In this way they made one or more corrals where they kept their cattle, cows and bulls. It was given the name of "Toril" (together with the Toril, with navas, the flatter territory, they get the name of "Navaltoril").
Since its foundation, the population has lived from agriculture and livestock farming. It has had industries such as mills for grinding cereals, oil mills, tile making, bricks, tiles and jars for curing and preserving wine, as in the 18th century there were many vineyards. It is surrounded by big game hunting grounds, an activity that is carried out during the winter.

What to see?
At the entrance to the village, over the Canaleja stream, there is a small bridge (19th-20th century), without parapets and with a solid appearance, built on two masonry and brick piers, with a markedly low tide, and architraved with tree trunks, whose interest lies in the combination of construction materials that give it a pleasant popular flavour. It has two ruined mills on the banks of the Gévalo.
