The centre of the village is filled with buildings and monuments that have a long past. 

A case in point is the Moorish Oven as well as the Parish Church. Also worth putting on your to-visit list are the beautiful chapels, the council house and Prospinal Tower, a Site of Cultural Interest which dates back to the 3rd century BC, Iberian times.

A unique opportunity to discover, for example, La Cerdaña Cave, a sanctuary dating back to Iberian times that was used to worship nature. A fascinating legend is connected to this cave. The local geology has created even more caves that are well worth exploring, namely Corderina, Ahumada, Murciénaga, El Pueblo and El Alemán.
