THE ENVIRONMENT
The town of La Busta is located sheltered from storms between gentle hills;
hills that thousands of years ago served as shelters for the first settlers,
Its remains can be found in the Cave of El Linar and Los Avellanos.
Its 114 inhabitants are spread across small neighbourhoods: Bazuelo, Carrera, La Espina, La Gesa and El Barriucu;
dedicated primarily to agriculture, livestock, and the industry of the periphery.
It is dominated by a green landscape and a large mass of trees, which surrounds the entire urban centre of La Busta.
Their houses are in a marked mountain style, and still retain their impressive balconies, as well as the arches of the entrance doors and the family coats of arms.
