Inside the village, in its upper part, we can contemplate what was the site of the fort and the few remaining remnants of its walls, there also stands the Church of the Incarnation built in 1505 and subsequently amended several times. This Mudejar style church is composed of three vessels, two bodies home runs, elongated pointed arches and a tower roof with a four-pronged. The building has two covers, one the oldest, Gothic-Mudejar, and other Baroque end of the seventeenth century.
On the outskirts of the village is the Carmelite convent of La Virgen de las Nieves of the sixteenth century and rebuilt in the XVIII. Ever since the Carmelites leave 160 years ago is in ruins.
Especially El Burgo offers a set of natural views are worthy of admiration and you can walk through routes such as walkers:
The Fuensanta and Los Sauces.
Begins the road two miles from the town in the direction of Yunkera. Filled with pine trees along the bed of the stream and lush green riverbank. Later we see a tree nursery and recreational area of the old mill Fuensanta. Continuing the way we arrived at the compound of the environmental Rejertilla, and later, the separation of the road is marked with a stone cross Galician style. If we decide to go to the right will give another route walker passing through the Port of Women, if we take the detour to the left climb up another crossroads in which we chose three distinct areas: the left one will return to the Rejertilla , The right to abandoned mines through the pinsapar of Mount Al Hoceima and the center of the camping area of Willow and Convent of the Snows. After the road becomes a path that will lead us to the highest peaks of the Sierra de las Nieves.
El Burgo, Turon River.
This route that begins in one lane on the left side of the river surrounded by poplars and olive groves were later converted into a dense gallery forest. After about two kilometers traveled, we found the barrier of the dam, bathing, and later a succession of dams of varying sizes, El Largo, The Requena, and the Birth Hierbabuena. Continuing the route we view with the wonderful Valley Lifa, the Round Rock of the Rock and dedicated to lovers. Now we can choose to connect with the previous route through the Port of Women or to return to the top but on the right side of the river.
Baja high-viper snake.
This route starts at about 13 kilometers from the right side of the road Serrato. It will climb up to the high snake, but before arriving we will see a lane that leads to the pond water as the source of Upper Snake. Move up to the rest of the Ventilla Cortijo and the Mirador del Guarda.
