It preserves some of the most interesting Romanesque-Mudejar remains in southern Valladolid, dating back to the very late 13th century.

To do this, you just need to sponsor any of the planted tree species and dedicate your name to it. You don't need to sign up to any list, you just need to decide to sponsor and care for the plant with watering and weeding,” says the forestry engineer and professor at the School of Forestry Foremen in Coca.
