Olocau del Rey, a medieval town of quiet streets, is part of the Camino del Cid tourist and cultural route. According to Menéndez Pidal, El Cid himself held the lordship of Olocau in the late 11th century, and the town's castle -of Arab origin, now in ruins, 800 metres west of the centre- may have been fortified by him in 1084.
