This area, which is home to vast meadows, owes its name to the fact that in the past (80 or 90 years ago) it was a place where wild cattle were allowed to graze freely. Next to a small lake created to retain rainwater (surface water is rare in the Serra de Montejunto, as it is a mountain made up mostly of limestone), you can still see the ruins of an old stable where the animals spent the night to protect themselves from the cold.
