Monterrubio de Armuña
Village
Monterrubio de Armuña is a municipality in the comarca of La Armuña, in the province of Salamanca, which it forms together with Mozodiel del Camino, founded during the resettlement that the kings of León carried out in the area in the Middle Ages; in the 13th century it is documented as Monte Ruvio, and the surname Armuña was added later to distinguish it from Monterrubio de la Sierra. Close to the capital, it forms part of the Alfoz de Salamanca and has multiplied its population tenfold since 1991 thanks to lower property prices. With about 1,320 inhabitants, it has the church of San Miguel and the hermitage of the Virgen del Viso.
