For centuries, these imposing territories, which extend into infinite plains on the edge of one of the most icy mountain ranges in Spain, the Mountain range of Pela, were that no man's land that constantly changed hands, in those turbulent late medieval periods, which History of our nation collected with the honorable name of the Reconquista. It is not surprising, therefore, that, having been a certainly strategic territory on both sides of that divisional area, which, for centuries, was also considered the border of the Duero, not only the remains of important fortifications, such as the castle of Galve de Sorbe, but also of Arab watchtowers, Christian hermitages and the legendary shadow of monks, warriors and soldiers, such as the Templars, remain in the popular memory of the surrounding towns, as part of a rich and indivisible heritage complex , worth, without a doubt, to discover.

Durante siglos, estos imponentes territorios, que se extienden en infinitas parameras a la vera de una de las sierras más gélidas de España, la Sierra de Pela, fueron esa tierra de nadie que cambiaba constantemente de manos, en aquellos convulsos periodos bajomedievales, que la Historia de nuestra nación recogió con el honeroso nombre de la Reconquista. No es de extrañar, por tanto, que, habiendo sido un territorio ciertamente estratégico a ambos lado de esa zona divisional, que, durante siglos, también, fue considerada como la frontera del Duero, no sólo los restos de importantes fortificaciones, como el castillo de Galve de Sorbe, sino también de atalayas árabes, ermitas cristianas y la legendaria sombra de unos monjes, guerreros y militares, como los templarios, permanezcan en el recuerdo popular de los pueblos de alrededor, como parte de un conjunto patrimonial, rico e indivisible, digno, sin duda alguna, de descubrir.
