  • Acrijos,
  • Armejún,
  • Buimanco,
  • Fuentebella,
  • Peñazcurna and
  • Valdemoro de San Pedro Manrique and

Economy

The town is known for the Spicy sausage produced in San Pedro Manrique. The area is mainly reliant on livestock, agriculture, food industry (chacinera), hospitality, forestry and local services.

Folkculture

It is known for its unique celebration of San Juan. At parties, some women called "Móndidas" dressed in traditional costume wearing huge "cestaños" (a kind of basket filling stones for stability, and containing a roulade and several rolls), decorated with flowers and three "arbujuelos" (tree branches covered with unleavened bread colored with saffron). On the night of San Juan, known as the Paso del Fuego a bonfire next to the shrine of the Virgen de la Peña is lite and when it has burnt to embers, the natives remove their shoes and their feet tread the lighted embers. It is very possible that these parties are residue of a pagan pre-Christian holiday, and the name of móndida, come from Maenad. The event is classified as a place of ethnological interest by the Castile and Leon government.

In 2011, a scientific study of Paso Fire sparked global interest. In this study, the scientists showed an effect of the passage of fire to synchronize the heartbeat of practitioners and spectators.[6][7]
