The population decline in the second half of the 20th century is mainly due to the mechanization of agriculture and the associated loss of jobs.
economy
The farming on the clay soils of the Tierra de Pinares , interspersed with stones and sand, and the keeping of small livestock (especially chickens) formed the livelihood of the self-sufficient population of the region for centuries ; Horses and donkeys were kept as draft and pack animals. Since the Middle Ages, handicrafts, retail trade and service companies of all kinds have developed, but these have mostly disappeared again.
history
In pre-Roman times the region belonged to the settlement area of the Celtic tribe of the Vaccaeans ; later came the Romans and Visigoths and in the 8th century the area was overrun by the Moors - however, all four cultures left only a few archaeologically usable traces in the area. Already in the 9th century Asturian-Leonese army conquered the areas north of the Duero back ( reconquista ) . At the end of the 10th century, the Moorish military leader Almansor temporarily wiped out the Christian successes, but in the 11th century the Kingdom of León extended its territory again to the Duero border and pursued a policy of repopulation ( repoblación ). After previous attempts, León finally united with the Kingdom of Castile in 1230 , but disputes occurred again and again in the period that followed. The place experienced its heyday in the late Middle Ages and in the early modern period.
Attractions
The Iglesia de San Matías , built entirely of bricks , dates from the 16th century; Quarry stones are hidden behind the white-plastered parts of the outer wall. Its apse shows a blind arcade structure in the Mudejar style ; inside it is blocked by a baroque altarpiece . The vaults of the three naves are decorated with simple stucco ornaments.
