Curiosity · Almendral de la Cañada, Sierra de San Vicente, Toledo

Image of Almendral de la Cañada, not of the place itself.

The Cañada Real Leonesa Oriental, some 700 km long, rises in the Montaña de Riaño, in the province of León, and ends at Montemolín, south of the province of Badajoz, also crossing Palencia, Valladolid, Segovia, Ávila, Toledo and Cáceres; it belonged to the Priorato de San Marcos de León, in the old Leonese province of the Order of Santiago. As it passes through Almendral de la Cañada, whose name, until 1916 Almendral de Arriba, recalls precisely this drovers' road, it shaped the town's livestock-farming history and accounts for much of its historical development.
