If you deviate slightly from the N630, near Santos de Maimona, next to the EX-101 road, a construction different from the rest emerges from the fields. It is the work of Don Francisco González Gragera, a retired bricklayer who more than 30 years ago began what today would be the fulfillment of a dream that he outlined years ago on paper. Cotrina's Whim.

The tower of the convent of San Francisco is the only remains of what was the Franciscan convent of San Benito. It was located outside the city of Zafra, although it is currently within the urban area. The convent was founded and built in the last third of the 15th century by the second Count of Feria, Gomes II Suárez de Figueroa, and by his mother, Countess María Manuel. Starting in 1565, the cloister and bedrooms were enlarged with the aim of housing a greater number of religious.
