Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, stands out for its slender tower that distinguishes the cutout in the sky of the profile of the municipality, and appears in the story of the Trip to the Alcarria by Camilo José Cela; Its Renaissance façade and its transitional Gothic interior also stand out.

A nature reserve of incredible beauty created by the waters of nearby Pareja. You can cycle around the lake to enjoy the natural oasis in the Alcarria Alta. I recommend stopping for a swim on a hot summer day.
