Canredondo

A round field

Canredondo stands at about 1,160 metres, on the western parameras of the district. Its name reflects the landscape: a round field (campo redondo), a broad agricultural expanse without a dominant direction. Local place names include Los Castillejos, El Torreón, El Navajo, and Las Fuentes.

What to see

• The church of La Asunción, from the 17th century.
• The festival of the Visitation of the Virgin, on the first weekend of July.

In the Episodios Nacionales

Benito Pérez Galdós mentions Canredondo in Juan Martín el Empecinado, his novel on the guerrilla warfare of the Peninsular War, which played out across these mountains. In the mid-19th century the village had over 500 inhabitants.
