The city of Alba de Tormes is located 20km from Salamanca. Irrigated by the tranquil waters of the river that gives it its name, has always been linked to the House of Alba, whom it owes its historical and cultural significance.

It was also home to the last years of Saint Teresa of Jesus, and it is the people who dedicated their patron saint festival. Of these, his fame is "bull of fire." Tormes river divides the town into two distinct areas.

On one side are the remains of ancient walls and walking on the spur of a walk to enjoy the tranquil views over the beautiful river. The other side is located the campsite, beach, green areas and a handful of bars that taste fried whiting.

The current population of Alba de Tormes re-emerges in full at the time of Alfonso VI, who ordered his son to restocking, Count Raymond of Burgundy. Its residents were introduced Mudejar architecture and built the wall and the bridge over the River.

Alba enjoyed an important cultural life in the fifteenth century, when it hosted the likes of writers Juan del Enzina and Lope de Vega. In the nineteenth century suffered the devastating effects of the Napoleonic invasion.
