What to see
Five things hold the interest of the visit: two churches with centuries of history on show, a museum of rural life, an archaeological site beside the Esla and the landscape that explains it all.

The Esla landscape

Is the monastery of Moreruela here?
No. The monastery of Santa María de Moreruela is in Granja de Moreruela, a different town about 23 minutes away by car: it is a separate excursion. What you visit here are the church of San Miguel Arcángel, the church of Santo Tomás, the Ethnographic Museum and the El Castillón site.
The interiors depend on services or on arranging the opening: check before travelling.
