Matilla de los Caños del Río: Landscape, Culture and Holiday Apartments

In Matilla de los Caños del Río, the Ermita de la Virgen del Cueto stands on a hill; it dates from the 17th century. From the CL-512, a signposted public country track leads for approximately 3 kilometres to the Ermita de la Virgen del Cueto.

Culture

In the arcades of the Ermita de la Virgen del Cueto, Miliario 53 was reused as a column. If this object is a milestone, it would be the most recent epigraphic evidence relating to the Vía de la Plata in the province of Salamanca. The channel of a former fulling mill has also been preserved in the town.

During archaeological work at the ruins of the former castle, an area was discovered that was presumably used as an armoury; weapons, kneepads and breastplates were found there. A dance performance accompanied by tambourines and dulzainas in honour of the Virgen del Cueto is one of Matilla de los Caños del Río's cultural references.
