El Pedroso

After crossing the Cordel del Pedroso, the Dehesa Alta, Los Gamos and the Loma de la Mimbrera you come to this town. It seems that this area was colonised by the Romans, attracted by the richness of its soils, although its greatest boom came with the opening of an iron foundry in the 16th century.

This town, known for its aniseed and cherry liqueurs, can be considered the centre of the Sierra Norte park, and in the surrounding area numerous traces of settlements from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods have been found.
