Siega Verde
The archaeological site of Siega Verde is located in the west of Salamanca, in the region of Ciudad Rodrigo. This is the most important open air Paleolithic Art site in Castile and Leon and the most significant one in Spain. That is why it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage.
Canyons and dams
In the north-west corner, the river Duero and its tributaries have carved an amazing chain of canyons, over which some spectacular dams and hydroelectric dams have been built.
Pozo de los Humos
When the rainy season comes, it is essential to visit the Pozo de los Humos. This waterfall is located between the villages of Pereña de la Ribera and Masueco.
Noveno festival
The roots of this celebration can be found in the history itself: from the 16th century, the village of San Felices and some other ones near it – Puerto Seguro and Ahigal de los Aceiteros- had to pay the ninth part of its production to the House of Alba.
Traditional Fiestas in La Alberca
Talking about La Alberca is talking about tradition which can be felt everywhere, in the streets, in every corner, in the houses and rooted celebration. Among all the celebrations, we can point out the Ofertorio and La Loa, both of them declared of National Tourist Interest.
Ciudad Rodrigo Cathedral
This is undoubtedly the most important monument in the city. King Fernando II de Leon promoted the construction of this building at the end of the 12th century, although the building works took place along six centuries and this brought many changes and influences as a result.
