The flood of the Zapardiel

Historical milestone · Salvador de Zapardiel, Tierra de Medina, Valladolid

Image of Salvador de Zapardiel, not of the place itself.

The river burst its banks for four days and swept away houses and harvests. The catastrophe forced the canalisation of the channel from 1867, leaving the old course turned into the so-called río Viejo.
