Wonderful town perched on a hill in the heart of Sobrepuerto, surrounded by terraces and difficult to access.
About twenty homes made up this town dedicated to a purely subsistence economy with livestock as the main occupation. Livestock consisting of sheep mainly and goats and cows in smaller quantities. Sheep that until the 40s were brought down to the lowlands, from then on they were no longer kept in the town's pastures.
From the importance of sheep farming comes the nickname by which the inhabitants of Escartin were known: "cheese eaters."
