On top of this hill near Monte de Valsaín are the ruins of what used to be an old convent that today only has four straight walls.

Curiously, in local culture there is a legend about the ruins of the Casarás Convent. According to this legend, the site was previously an old Templar convent, part fortress and part monastery, which houses its ancient treasure and is inhabited by the ghost of a Templar knight named Hugo de Marignac, who rides his horse through the Sierra de Guadarrama. .
