Virgen de la Cuesta Chapel
Located outside the urban area of the town, the primitive hermitage was built before the 16th century, as the carving of the Virgin is late Romanesque (13th century). Its appearance is related in a naive legend, with some girls picking strawberries as protagonists, presumably a building dedicated to that image existed previously. It was enlarged and consolidated in the 16th century and even today Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements remain. Given the orographic difficulty of the terrain, it was finished in the 17th century. The unmistakably baroque altarpiece was finished in the 18th century. The spectacular site itself offers a panoramic view of the valley of the river Francia and part of the villages of the Sierra de Francia, presided over by the omnipresent Peña de Francia.

Parque de las Fuentes Grandes
Located on the outskirts of the village, it has always been a safe water supply point, since according to the oldest people in the area it has never dried up. The park is made up of three fountains, two of them with an open spring, which were once closed with wooden doors, and one of them with a hidden, subway spring. Once they fell into disuse as a supply, they have been recovered as a place of recreation and leisure, as the freshness makes it a very visited place in summer by locals and occasional visitors.
