San Esteban de Gormaz

(San Esteban de Gormaz · Castille and León)

It is located 69 kilometres from the provincial capital. The town is located on the route of the Lana and on the road of the Cid, route of the exile of El Cid, on the bank of the river Duero. Its extensive municipal term is made up of the core of San Esteban and 18 other villages: San Esteban Village, Atauta, Inés, Matanza de Soria, Moría, Olmillos, Pedraja de San Esteban, Peñalba de San Esteban, Piquera de San Esteban, Quintanas Blubias de Abajo, Quintanas Blonde de Escalo, Quintanilla de Tres Barrios, Rejas de San Esteban, Soto de San Esteban, Torraño, Torremocha de Aylón, Velilla de San Esteban and Villálvaro. The relief of the territory is very influenced by the presence of the river Duero, which runs from Gormaz to Langa de Duero, receiving the contribution of small rivers and streams. The altitude is increasing at a greater distance from the river, acquiring the typical landscape of the Spanish plain. The altitude ranges between 1134 meters south of the municipality and 850 meters on the banks of the Duero. The village rises to 879 meters above sea level. .
