The Duero now crosses the border between the provinces of Valladolid and Zamora, through the land of Alfoz de Toro. The fertile meadows of this area, the centre of the wines that bear its name, has many vineyards all over the hillsides alongside the mighty river that enters the town under a bridge.
It is here that the Consejo Regulador de los vinos de la Denominación de Origen Toro is based. The meadows, bathed by the waters, provide the town with some of the most highly prized vegetable gardens and orchards in the area.
