Nice municipality nailed on the banks of the Landmark, in one of his more difficult and narrow steps, named the Sickles. East emplacement provides him with unbeatable conference of the Vale.
The cherry tree is the most widespread cultivation. Mentioned river is crossed, from south to north, for earlier Landmark, to which it owes surname to him "of the Bank" and of of whose waters it makes use for the irrigation. they use for it the ditches Shallow, Forcena, Major and That of molinar, constructed in times of the Arabs.
The Town settles on a hillside. In him it is possible to perceive flavor of his Mudejar past, allowing us to lose for his narrow ones and tortuous streets, observing the popular architecture, as for example the arches that there is on the doors of many houses of Town. Another example of the Mudejar legacy in the locality is his Church of San Pedro Apóstol.
Other attractions, between many, that we can see in this kidling locality it is the Renaissance source of the stone XVIIth century of red that is in the Biggest Square; the Snowfield that there is in pine grove that exists on the Town, in the well-known place like Calvary, but that at present is in bad conditions; the ancient one laundry room situated in the Street San Pedro Baja of the Town; the deep ones vaulted epoch wine vaults Muslim, who exists largely of houses of the Town, but that of course, they are deprived and there is none with access to the public or the Chapel of San Roque.
The Villain: Popular dance that dances the nights of holidays in square of the Town. It is danced by couples and Aragonese folklore is gathered inside . It must date of the XVIth or XVIIth centuries since all the dances known by this name date back to these times.
The surroundings turn out to be truly interesting. Us we find in one of the most abrupt areas of the region. Them Sickles of the Landmark there assure frenetic excursions to us between steep canyons, singular panoramas in which to capture elegant flight of the vulture and visits to picturesque villages, as Saviñán or Morés.
The management holidays are in honor to San Pedro Bautista, being his day on February 5. The day of the Cross is celebrated also on the 3rd of May, although at present it has happened to be celebrated on the first Saturday of May (fte and texts to see links)
