Do not confuse Patones de Arriba, the town of black architecture that lives off tourism, with Patones de Abajo. The latter was founded after the Spanish Civil War, and most of the Patoneros moved there. Although Patones de Arriba is practically uninhabited today, some older people still cling to their roots. Before visiting Patones de Arriba, keep in mind that parking there is complicated, so I recommend leaving your car in the Patones de Abajo parking lot.

Near the town are the Reguerillo cave, an archaeological site, and the ruins of the Pontón de la Oliva and the hermitage of the Virgen de la Oliva.
