Back then the most important and prosperous families had their residences in one of the most important streets of the town, known as La Calle Grande (The Grand Street), nowadays most of those houses have been turned into art galleries or restaurants.
A local legend has it that, in what was Casa Cural, now the House of Culture, there is an underground corridor that connects with the church. Rumors also abound about fortunes that were found when the old houses were demolished or remodeled.
