La Sierra de Francia it´s
a touristic zone because it has original landscapes, gastronomy, crafts
and traditions. From the geologic point of view, it is made up of mountain
ranges not very high with heights next to the 1700 ms in the Rock of France.
Its landscape contrasts with other zones
of the province by its verdor, the abundance of forests, rivers, little
streams and green prairies, where a rich wild life can also be observed
and the famous Iberian pig that, fed on acorns, it serves as base extraordinary
food of the region. The small villages, scattered by mountains, they conserve
constructions of great interest and antiquity. Some old houses have been
turned now factories craftsmen and stores count offer excellent natural
products of the zone.
In celebrations the old regional customs
and dances and ceremonies can be seen that have stayed inalterable over
generations. People said that during Reconquista the region was repopulated
by people who came with Raimundo of Borgoña from the North, among
them franks, astures and Basoues. From these days came the name of Rock
of France that occurs to the Maxima own height and many names, and saints
patrons who remember the origin of the repopulators. In summary, there is
an extraordinary landscape, where live cosy people who make the trip to
the Sierra
of France unforgettable.
