Image of Amusquillo, not of the place itself.

Madoz's dictionary praised in the middle of the nineteenth century the crayfish fished here, above all in September, and the eels of the Esgueva, to which it attributed a better taste than those of larger rivers; the crayfish is still in the recipe book of the valley.
