Sobre Arcos de las Salinas

<p><strong>Heritage</strong></p>

Several interesting points can be found throughout the valley, such as the Ojos del Río de Arcos, the fish farms scattered along the valley, and numerous springs.

Vegetation, especially pine forests, covers the slopes of these hills.

The salinity of the soil has made salt extraction possible here since ancient times, with saltworks located near the village.

The first known human settlement in this area dates back to the Iberian period, located on the right bank of the Arcos River, at Cabezo de la Herrería.

From the medieval era, the Portal de la Catarra, the ancient gate that once provided access to the village, is still preserved.

Standing out on the village skyline is the Church of the Immaculate Conception, declared a Site of Cultural Interest. The church was burned and almost destroyed during the Carlist Wars in the 19th century but was later restored.
