Villanueva del Conde was in its origins, a small dependent village of the County of Miranda del Castañar, declared villa at the beginning of century XVIII. Located in the heat of The Sierra of Francia, with landscapes of green prairies between forests, rivers and little streams. A small mount dominates by the part the west to it, indeed where the "Viewpoint of the Montaña de Francia" is located, from where you have a panoramic view of the region.

Small and typical mountain town (it does not surpass the 250 inhabitants) benefits as much from a privileged climate with smooth temperatures in winter as in summer, due to its good direction it is surrounded by lands of vine, olive trees and fruit trees, being the cherry tree the great protagonist. Villanueva del Conde is really a great orchard, in the Natural Park of the Batuecas.

The urban structure of Villanueva of the Count is one of most peculiar of Spain, calling the attention by its defensive character. The small village is arranged in a closed enclosure of polygonal form, leaving in its interior an ample free space occupied by the orchards, and the only way to get in is from the houses. This peculiar city-planning disposition exists since the origins of the population and throughout the centuries the new constructions have been respecting this empty center.
