Founded during the 12th-century repopulation of León by Alfonso IX, within the district of Miranda del Castañar.
Declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1998 and a member of the network of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain.
Its mountain architecture combines stone, wood, and adobe, with flower-adorned balconies and heraldic details.

Church of Our Lady of the Snows
A Renaissance-style church, built between the 16th and 17th centuries.

One of the beautiful mountain villages, located in the Batuecas and Sierra de Francia Natural Park. Highly recommended a walk through its picturesque streets, see the stone and wooden houses. Above all, we found the idea of painting and hanging the photos of their neighbors very original.
