The village’s origin and name can be attributed to the existence of a property in the mountains whose inhabitants probably worked making charcoal, or “piconcillo” to sell. Around the village there are thirteen pre-Roman settlements, fortresses and dwellings of primitive settlers, “Plaza de Armas de Picón Viejo” being the most significant one. In terms of the village’s heritage, highlights are the 15th-century Church of El Salvador (The Saviour), the Chapel of San Isidro (Saint Isidore), and the 16th-century Town Hall.
