The village, with its privileged vantage point, is enveloped in clean, fresh air and surrounded by a bewitching tranquility.
	TAMADABA PINE FOREST Though the whole borough is of great interest for its breathtaking views, the undoubted high point is the superlative Tamadaba Pine Forest. Eight kilometres long with spectacular views, its slopes covered in pine trees, and with some beautiful paths and tracks, it is one of the most stunning Nature Reserves in Spain. Ermita de la Virgen de La Cuevita (Sanctuary of THE VIRGIN OF THE CAVE). This cave of 8 m in diameter and vaulted roof is home to an 80 cm tall image of the Virgin dating from the 14th century and which was supposedly placed there by Franciscan monks. From the 17th century onwards this small cave has undergone a series of alterations leaving it today an obligatory visiting place for the faithful who pass through the town.
