Toro

This wine-producing town on an escarpment above the Douro river in Castile and León, Toro is known as a centre of Mudéjar art and holds an unusual concentration of historic churches for its size, including the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor. The Denominación de Origen Toro protects the local wine culture, and the town's elevated position above the river valley offers broad views across the surrounding vineyards. A small central core has cafés and restaurants.
