History

Not much is known about its origins. Some remains from the chalcolithic period have been found, however, and they seems to indicate that there were human settlements at the period.
During the war of Independence, the village was totally raised by the French troops in retaliation for the resistance of its inhabitants.
It belonged for a long time to the Castillo de las Guardas, and only recently became independent and constituted its own Council.
