Together with Navianos and Alija, this is one of the three urban centres that make up the municipality of Alija del Infantado. Perched on a small hill at the confluence of the rivers Órbigo and Jamuz, the history of this rural settlement is shrouded in the mists of time.
The area known as La Ermita is the site of Roman settlements, and visitors can also observe the ruins of an ancient bridge over the River Jamuz on the Silver Route. Its location, between two rivers and the narrow ravines make this a place that is worth stopping to admire unhurriedly.
It is also the site of the Church of Santa María.
