[3] The region of the Sierra de Francia is formed by an intricate depression covered by the Alagón River.

Within it there are two hidden rough and rugged valleys, which provide places of safe haven and perfect hiding, but this also creates an oppressive narrowness.

[4] Traditional culture and architecture is highly conserved in the municipalities of the Sierra.
