Located in the middle of the Roman road, hence its name Half-shell or half of the road, it is a town that is said to be abandoned given its current difficult situation and the fact that the life of the people seems to have proliferated in somewhat more suitable areas and easy to get to, such as Pie de Concha or Pesquera. The first time I visited it, it seemed completely like a ghost town to me, it was winter and although one of the houses did seem suspiciously better cared for and with some firewood, it could be used occasionally as shelter.
The second time I've been there was at the beginning of autumn with very good weather and that house is in use: maybe only in some more propitious times of the year but I have to admit that there is at least one neighbor.
The rest of the beautiful town has seen better days, the houses are in various states of ruin (including the beautiful church of San Gregorio, in a state of absolute ruin).
