At that time a small local nobility was consolidated to which Menese lineages belonged such as the Ortiz, Vivanco, Vallejo, Gil and Angulo.

PALACE OF QUINTANA. The chronicles tell that Don José María Quintana Garay (1.871-1.944) like so many others, emigrated to Mexico where with much effort he made his fortune. On his return to Spain he settled in Madrid, and decided to build a summer house in his native Sopuerta, buying a house and land in the neighborhood of La Baluga, and later a second adjacent land to expand the farm. The project of reform and extension of the house was commissioned to the industrial engineer Miguel de la Colina Puyol who transformed it into the building we know today, being the mountain regionalist style, appreciating the two towers on both sides of the main façade with its large eaves and its triple windows, the most remarkable being its original angled windows. ~ ~ The result for the Quintana family, was a magnificent flat estate of 13,300 m² totally enclosed with high walls, and the renovated 3-storey palace, keeper's house, pediment and service area, all between a leafy woodland, gardens and bucolic corners where they enjoyed their retirement. ~ ~ In 2004 it was acquired and completely renovated, expanding auxiliary buildings to a total of 850 m² for use as a residence for the elderly until 2015, the date of the end of the activity.
