En uno de sus valles recorrido por el río Iregua, está el Camero Nuevo, tierra de bosques, pastizales, cumbres y pequeños valles, donde se sitúan 13 pueblos con historia, tradiciones y leyendas, que siglos atrás se agruparon bajo la denominación de Hermandad de las 13 Villas.
Its farm is located on a sunny slope on the left bank of the Iregua River, at the confluence with its tributary, the Santos River, as they call “Albercos”, which rises from the Ortigosa reservoir. Over the town, the church dominates the traditional constructions and, on the other side of the river, there is an interesting leisure and devotional space.
It is an important site to continue along the upper basin of the Iregua River or follow its tributary and discover other places of great tourist attraction.
There were important craft workshops in the town, dedicated to textile activities, dyes, flour mills and other manufacturing facilities powered by the water of their rivers.
Its population in 2017 was 71 inhabitants.
