In this small town you can find a bit of the history left by the Romans. Next to the Tera River, the area is very fertile and is used mainly for agriculture. This means plenty of nice trails and dirt roads for mountain biking.

The bridge is located on the Jacobean route known as Camino Mozárabe Sanabrés, which allows pilgrims to cross into Zamora and Galicia beyond.
