Tips
The almost 400-year-old Navajas Olmo is one of the city's landmarks. Named “Tree of the Year 2019” in Spain and voted “European Tree of the Year” despite coming in twelfth place. Planted in the town square in 1636 during the city's founding. The importance of this almost 20 meter high tree is clear from the fact that it even appears on the city's coat of arms.
