Of great beauty are the places that surround this isolated village, rockrose and pines predominate among the flora surrounding the swamp.

The local dishes do not differ much from those of Helechosa: stew, gazpacho, "cursed chorizos" pestorejo, "the priest morcilla" and trabao with drippings and bacon;candelillas and canutos as sweet elaborations.
