The landscape of the area is formed by dry-farmed crops, with some holm oaks and oaks. The Montes river flows through this town. The natural place of Valdecentenares is remarkable, where there used to be an old, abandoned village.

Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción - Es de las primeras en España en tener esta advocación. También encontramos en el término la ermita de San Sebastián. Se conserva en la localidad un rollo, que llamar “horca”, situado en el paraje con idéntico nombre en el que hay también dos picotas. En el paraje de “la Mora” quedan ruinas de antiguas construcciones.

The main festival takes place during the first Saturday of July and it is dedicated to the Inmaculada Concepción (Blessed Virgin).

And during the second Sunday of September, to the Santo Cristo (Saint Christ).

There is still one brotherhood, the one dedicated to San Sebastián, on behalf of whom the fields are blessed the 3rd May before a dinner of the brothers.

They used to pingar el mayo (rise the highest pine in the main square) during the festivals of the Santo Cristo and they used to pull it down before the Madonna of the Rosary.

The tradition of the 29th September, day of San Miguel, has been lost: in this time of the year, the council used to call the neighbours and there used to be a public auction for the clearing of the streets, the stud pig, the bread oven and the care of the goats. After that, they used to drink the wine offered by the town council. They also used to pay the rent and the advance to the neighbour and service boy.
