the village itself is very quiet and everyone you meet looks surprised that you are there. Apart from the narrow streets and the old church there is little to see in this village where the first habitation was in prehistoric times and almost all other major cultures passed here. The village itself on this spot was probably founded in the Moorish period where they enjoyed protection from a castle that overlooks the village.
