Junta de Traslaloma is located in the western part of the Losa Valley,
settled for ages by the Celts, the Romans and the Moors as an
important route of communication. Made of several villages, the
municipality was formed in 1835.
Castrobarto was resettled by Basque colonists who entered Castile
following river Cadagua to expel the Moors. The village appears in a
document dated 1101 as Castro, depending on the Oña Monastery; the
village was later known as Castrodobarto.
