The town was bustling, and is apparently very popular with Madrilenos for its local specialty of anis. This licorice flavored alcoholic drink isn't particularly tasty, but, unlike in Aranjuez, at least the stuff is actually made here. There are about thirty bars serving anis so we stopped for an obligatory drink, and afterwards walked around the town for an hour. It's got an ancient romanesque church perched above the plaza mayor, and a decrepit castle that's not particularly interesting but makes a good vantage point for seeing this tightly packed town.
