Alfonso VI of León captured the settlement in 1068, though it returned to Muslim control before being permanently settled by Christians under Alfonso I in 1128.

The Church of San Miguel, constructed during the 12th century, represents the architectural heritage of the region with its distinct Gothic and Renaissance elements.

The town connects to Madrid through the Autovía A-15 and Carretera Nacional N-111, offering direct transportation links across central Spain.
