Torinas Gorge

Nature · Sartajada, Sierra de San Vicente, Toledo

The garganta Torinas is a watercourse in the Sierra de San Vicente (Toledo), a tributary of the river Tiétar and therefore part of the Tajo basin. Over its eighteen-kilometre course it crosses the municipal districts of Almendral de la Cañada, La Iglesuela del Tiétar and Sartajada before flowing into the Tiétar, amid Mediterranean vegetation and natural pools. It is crossed by an old three-arch Roman bridge, situated on the road linking La Iglesuela del Tiétar with Sartajada. As for the origin of its name, the linguist Francisco Villar links it to the pre-Roman personal name Turos, while the historian Jiménez de Gregorio connects it with the word toro.
