In 1802, there were 23 families living in the village. By 1960 there were 9 households remaining, which declined further in 1970 to 5 households. In the 1978 census the village reported no households present, and by the 1981 census the village had been officially depopulated.[1][3]
The local church, Iglesia de San Estaban de Ribera,[1][3] has Romanesque architecture and has preserved artwork and features from both the 9th century (mural paintings),[2][4] and the 13th –16th century also.[3] In 1800 it was part of the Diocese of Burgos.[1][5]
