A definate must is to walk around the streets of
San Vicente to see important buildings such as Anguiliano Palace,
Díaz de Corcuera House and the other mansions belonging
to wealthy families.
Laguardia is a walled town built on a mound with five entrances
to defend the old town hall, the birth palace of Samaniego, the
Primicia house and many other well known buildings with shield.
The old part of the village is full of cellars
