Toro

The town spreads in a fan shape on a high plain at 735 meters elevation, with the Santa María la Mayor church positioned in the center.

Toro played a central role in the 1476 Battle of Peleagonzalo, where Castilian forces confronted Portuguese armies during the War of Castilian Succession.

The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor displays a multicolored western door and houses the notable Flemish painting La Virgen de la Mosca.

The municipality maintains connections with its twin cities of Condom in France and Dormagen in Germany, facilitating cultural exchanges between these European locations.

The sandy soil composition of Toro's vineyards protected grape vines from the devastating phylloxera crisis that affected other Spanish wine regions.
