The municipality of Brazacorta (55 inhabitants in 2018 vs. 112 in 1996; 2,108 ha; municipal website) is located 100 km south-east of Burgos.
Brazacorta was the site of the St. Mary Norbertine monastery. In 24 April 1287, King Sancho IV of Castile granted the monastery the right to pick a ship from each flock that crossed the village during transhumance.
