Culture

The parish church of Nuestra Señora del Prado was built in the 15th century and features Gothic portals. The vault of Nuestra Señora del Prado was rebuilt towards the end of the 18th century following the Lisbon earthquake in 1755. Together with the Medieval Bridge and the Cueva del Monje and Cueva del Moro dolmens, it shapes the historic appearance of the town.

The Cueva del Monje dolmen has a corridor beginning with a clearly discernible length of three metres; the stones of this dolmen are up to two metres high. The Cueva del Moro dolmen has been preserved in its entirety, with the exception of the false dome.

The La Chiquita festival takes place on 1 November. During the festival, residents collect items from house to house and then go into the countryside to eat what they have collected together at an outdoor meal.
