Béjar

Located 72 kilometers from Salamanca at an elevation of 959 meters, Béjar extends across mountainous terrain near the Sierra de Francia range.

The settlement relocated to its current location in the first half of the 14th century and received multiple confirmations of its municipal charter.

The Ducal Palace contains a Renaissance courtyard with decorative shields and fountains that represent the architectural heritage of the 16th century.

The municipality maintains several walking paths along the riverbank that display informational panels about the local textile manufacturing traditions.

During the Corpus Christi celebration, participants covered in green moss walk through the streets in a tradition specific to Béjar.
