The weather in summer is sunny during the day, even hot, but cool at night due to the altitude (950 m). In Aguilar (11 km) and Cervera (10 km) there are markets one day a week. The Parque Natural de Fuentes Carrionas, close, offers the possibility of many routes and walks for the observation of fauna and flora. In September-October can go to see and hear the bellowing (period of zeal of the Red Deer, due to the guttural sound emitted by males) in the vicinity of Cervera de Pisuerga. Alto Campoo ski station nearby also (40 min) and has enough snow in winter.
