Aldealengua on the Río Tormes

Aldealengua lies on the right bank of the Río Tormes. The town opens up several clearly distinguishable perspectives for you: the parish church and local history, festive dates, named destinations in the surrounding area, as well as water and trails. These focal points can be weighted separately according to your travel date and preferred daily itinerary.

Culture

The parish church of Santiago was built over the remains of a structure dating from the 12th century. The main altar of the town’s parish church houses the Virgen de Pedrarias, the patron saint of Aldealengua. Aldealengua’s local feast days include 24 June and 8 September. Aldealengua celebrates its local San Juan festival on 24 June. In May, San Isidro Labrador was carried in a procession to the fields of Aldealengua to bless them.

When planning a trip according to the calendar and your interests, you can consider the two feast dates, the May event, and the church interior separately. This allows religious tradition, local history, and the annual cycle to stand as distinct themes alongside one another, without one particular focus overshadowing the other cultural impressions.
