During the Civil War, Narciso Esténaga, Bishop of Ciudad Real, was assassinated. In his homage the "Cross of the Bishop", almost bathed by the waters of the Vicario reservoir.
As far as I have seen, this place is little known but it is worth visiting, although it may be difficult to find it, you enter and exit along a gravel path.
