The
Infanta Catalina was born here on January 14, 1507. She was the daughter of Queen
Juana of Castile and
Felipe of Habsburg. After Felipe's death, his remains rested here for a period of 3 months. In this village is the home of the writer
José Zorrilla y Moral, author of "
Don Juan Tenorio", traditionally performed every year on
All Saints Day. There is a plaque in Zorrilla's memory, located in front of his summer residence. In the summer of 2007, the "
Ruta Quetzal" passed by here, in honor of the 500th anniversary of the birth of the Infanta Catalina. == References ==
