Carazuelo
Carazuelo is 5 kilometres from Candilichera, the municipality to which it belongs, along with Duáñez, Fuentetecha and Mazalvete.
This is a small hamlet in Campo de Gómara, which during the Middle Ages was under the rule of the Comunidad de Ciudad y Tierra de Soria, itself part of the Sexmo de Arciel.
Today it has barely more than twenty inhabitants and is surrounded by a small area of pine forest. Agriculture is the engine of the local economy in Carazuelo, where remains of Celtiberian and Terra Sigilata pottery have been found in the surrounding area, specifically in the areas of La Arroyada and El Cerillo.
It has a small parish church built in 1962 in stone masonry with a gabled roof and a metal bell tower with two bells of different sizes.
Like the other hamlets and villages in the municipality of Candilichera, residents celebrate the festivals of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and San Roque in mid-August.
The local gastronomy in the area is dominated by stews using, as one might expect, lamb and mutton, especially the caldereta de machorra y terrizo.
