The mechanization of agriculture and the abandonment of numerous small farms led to an exodus of the population to the cities from the beginning of the 20th century.
economy
The villages of the municipality were and are exclusively oriented towards agriculture, with cattle breeding playing a dominant role. People lived self-sufficient because the markets were too far away - a situation that only improved with the construction of an asphalt road in the second half of the 20th century.
history
The first mention of the place name comes from the year 1156. Later the area belonged to the manor (señorio) of the Lizana family . Since the 19th century, the town of Logroño has determined the fate of the gradually disintegrating mountain community.
Attractions
The ruins of several abandoned villages and hermit churches (ermitas) are located in the municipality . A single arch medieval bridge crosses the Río Jubera .
