LA FRAGOSA
El principal atractivo que tiene la alquería de Fragosa son sus calles y casas típicas que se reparten por todo el pueblo.
También podemos resaltar la iglesia que es junto con la de Aceitunilla las más antiguas de Las Hurdes.
Poco después de adentrarnos en la alquería por la plaza mayor, encontramos una fuente realizada en pizarra por la que sale el agua proveniente de un chorro que se encuentra detrás y que viene de las montañas.


SPAIN - LAS HURDES


CAMINOMORISCO - This town was formerly known as Las Calabazas and its present name dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. The area has known much depopulation during the last few decades, so that a number of alquerías (small settlements of a few houses), like Casas de Jelechoso, Arrocartintero and Arrocerezo, lie now abandoned.
