These lovely panels date back to the 19th century and are a common sight in many of the towns and villages in the Region of Valencia.

The plaza housing La Purísima Concepción Parish Church is a sunny place that invites you to stay for a while and the church, built in the Baroque style in the 17th century, is a sight well worth visiting. Inside you’ll see various works of art.
