Tower of the city wall



The unmistakable image of Ledesma stands out on a high granite base bathed by the river Tormes.
You can still gain access to this village by going over the old bridge that crosses the river.
We recommend the walker reach the village by passing through its old walls toward
Santa María la Mayor church. This magnificent temple is located in the plaza mayor of the town, overlooking a village in which you can still easily see medieval characteristics.
Visit the
castle, the temples and the feudal mansions that are dispersed throughout the old Bletisama while you look for the shield of the gentleman of the town: Don Beltrán de la Cueva. Hear about feats and legends of other times in which the village enjoyed power, rights and privileges that were famed in all the province.
