== Natural environment == The surroundings of the Selmo River stand out: a fast-flowing river with powerful waters, which in the past led to its use for operating ironworks along its course. Likewise, the mountainous nature of the area, sheltered between Peña de Seo and the Encina de la Lastra mountain range, offers a beautiful natural landscape with forests of birch, beech, oak and chestnut trees, as well as wildlife that includes wolves, foxes, otters, badgers and roe deer.
