Duero Route Province of Salamanca
Villarino de los Aires is the first town the Duero flows through in the province of Salamanca, where the landscape offers a stunning panorama of deep ravines boasting a wealth of flora and fauna that lead to viewpoints offering breathtaking views that stretch out as far as the border with Portugal. Between Pereña de la Ribera and Masueco, the River Uces flows into the Duero, before continuing on its way to Aldeadávila de la Ribera, where visitors can admire the impressive dam and then continue along the course of the river through Mieza, Vilvestre or Saucelle.
