Cabredo has a total surface of 11.90 square metres (128.1 sq ft), and it borders Genevilla to the north, Aguilar de Codes to the east and Marañon to the South.
He is most remarkable for his efforts to educate Trujillo's Indians and for his research into local plants, animals, archaeological ruins, music, and native cultures.
In 2011 the Ruta Quetzal honoured the memory and the work he did in South America by naming that year's expedition with his name and visiting the town he was born in, which was called La Aventura de Martínez Compañón en Perú, del Desierto Moche a la Selva Amazónica".
Cabredo's mayor festival is held the third weekend of September, which is celebrated in memory of San Simeon Labrador.
A variety of activities are carried out these days, such as a mass honouring the local saint and a popular dinner.
