A long time ago, this area was no more than a simple passing area, so it was not considered something of general interest. All of this coincides with the Romans, who built a road, which was later adapted to serve the <strong>Camino de Santiago<\/strong>The park still preserves a large part of the megalithic constructions of the past.
