Its orientation and contour ensure that it receives plenty of sunlight and enjoys excellent views. Most of the buildings in the village are detached houses, with those from an earlier period showing clear signs of decay and abandonment: they were built in a style that corresponded to a rural way of life and their construction was conditioned and determined by the resources that could be obtained from farming the land, all this nowadays in full retreat in the face of more urban systems, economies and lifestyles.
