The church of Nuestra Señora del Socorro and the cemetery are 
off the main road. Apart from the Bar La Matilla, there are only a few scattered houses, some of whose patios have tall, thick trees for shade. These are particularly striking, as apart from tomato fields and agaves plantations the surrounding countryside is almost completely bare - erosion carries on unhindered.
The electricity cables are draped from street lamp to street lamp, and the water reservoirs have been made with the simplest of means: a round earth mound forms the basin, and clay and plastic sheeting prevent the water from seeping out, but cannot prevent it from evaporating. On one side of the village the Aceitunal mountain (686 m) rises up, and on the other MUDA (689 m), which has b
een a military restricted zone since 1991, as its peak is home to air and sea observation posts. The facility was established by the Spanish central government, and once with local resistance, fanned by the Asamblea majorerea. The slogans can still be read today on the back of many traffic signs: Muda weeps, for example (La Muda llora), if Muda could talk, etc. If you go round Muda and through the valley beyond, and then climb up the next ridge, you will have an entrancing view both o La Mantilla and of the green valley of Villaverde on the other side.
