A Glimpse into History

Even though Berrueco is a small village today, it has a long history. To the south of the village, you can find signs of an even older settlement. This was a Celt-Iberian settlement. The Celt-Iberians were ancient people who lived in parts of the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal) a very long time ago. Finding their remains shows that people have lived in this area for thousands of years.
