The pretty town of Ledesma is just 35 km from Salamanca

Spain Westward Journey ~ Salamanca (Region) It is worth taking a stroll to discover prehistoric monuments such as the "verraco", menhirs and remains of Roman walls. The town's importance can also be seen in its monuments such as mansions, palaces, churches and castles. The most famous of its religious buildings is the Gothic-style Santa Maria Mayor Church. The visit to Ledesma can start at the History and Visitors Center BLETISA and continue along the signposted routes. The Urban Route passes through the most representative parts of the old town, while the Puente Mocho Route passes through a forest of centenary holm oaks, where you can spot griffins and black kites. The bridge was built by the Romans and has been declared a cultural property. Nature lovers can take advantage of the Ribera del Tormes to admire the scenery and practice activities such as canoeing. If we turn to the gastronomy of the city, we cannot miss its famous donuts, which are made in "obradores" (artisan workshops) open to tourists. Finally, speaking of festivals, it’s always recommended to attend the Corpus Christi Festival as well as the town’s famous Running of the Bulls. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Castile-León
