One of the most beautiful mountain villages in the Cameros region. Filled with stone houses, it is located on the slopes of a natural canyon, the Encinedo massif. This ravine was formed through a karstic process that gave rise to several chasms and caves. Two of them can be visited, the one in La Paz and the one in La Villa.

The port of Peña Hincada has good asphalt and horizontal signage. It is a road with little vehicle traffic. Shadows abound up to Brieva to disappear from that core to the top, totally stark in its most demanding part. Be very careful if it is done in winter, check the weather beforehand.

El Rasillo is a town in Los Cameros that has a livestock tradition. Today it is a tourist town located between the swamp and the mountain. A very special corner that deserves a visit on wheels.

Known as Pantano de Ortigosa or Embalse de González-Lacasa, the dam is located between the towns of Ortigosa de Cameros, El Rasillo and Peñaloscintos, in Camero Nuevo. The reservoir is located on the Alberco river, although its waters come from the Iregua river, where the water is transferred through an underground channel from downstream of Villoslada.
