City on the Duero, 33 km from Zamora province, ruled by Infanta Dona Elvira. Its collegiate church dates to 1160 and its several brick Mudejar churches evoke the Cid's day, but little remains of the 10th Century town.

  And he went against Toro, the city of Dona Elvira, and took it; and then he went to Zamora to Dona Urraca, bidding her yield him up the city, and saying that he would give her lands as much as she required in the plain country.
