The municipality of Puebla de la Sierra is nestled in a boxed valley through which the Puebla River runs within the Sierra del Rincón, cataloged by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. The landscape is dominated by wooded masses with large expanses of pine forests and large areas of native oak groves, the scrubland being made up of jarales, lavender, heather, holm oaks and Pyrenean oak.

Puebla de la Sierra is one of the five towns that make up the Sierra del Rincón. It was once called the Town of the Dead Woman (Puebla de la Mujer Muerta) because popular imagination saw a woman lying on the mountain peaks, between the peaks of Centenera (head), Tornera (chest), and Porrejón (feet). In 1940, the locals decided to change the name from "mujer muerta" to "sierra," and although it remains an isolated town hidden in rugged and deep terrain, nature tourism and active leisure activities in the environment have given the town new life and charm.

The houses and urban layout are an interesting example of traditional architecture, built with local materials and adapted to the harsh environment. The shepherd's huts are the best examples of old lifestyles and the oldest buildings. The town is twinned with the Japanese town of Osaka and has served as the foundation for a Japanese Museum, with interesting works of art and curiosities. The village streets and several nearby spots form the Valley of Dreams, an open-air gallery of 31 sculptures. There's also a traditional forge, a 16th-century chapel with a fountain of Moorish origin, and centuries-old oak forests that are well worth a visit.

A beautiful Black Village in La Sierra Poble in Madrid. Clean, well-kept, with good hospitality services, it is the beginning and end of multiple routes, but it also has a very extensive exhibition of outdoor statues of all types nearby.
