Curiosity · Villoruela, Las Villas, Salamanca

Image of Villoruela, not of the place itself.

The first baptism book records that on 22 May 1527 the son of Emperor Carlos was born, and from that arose the belief that Felipe II was from Villoruela; study of the text showed that the priest was noting the following day a piece of news that had arrived from Valladolid.
