Muelas de los Caballeros
Village
Muelas de los Caballeros is a municipality in the comarca of La Carballeda, in Zamora, situated at 985 metres above sea level and made up of three settlements: Gramedo was added to it around 1850 and Donado in 1968. In the Middle Ages it was part of the resettlement of the Kingdom of León, and in the early modern period it depended on the Lands of the Count of Benavente, within the Sanabria receivership; since 1834 it has belonged to the judicial district of Puebla de Sanabria. In the mid-19th century it had 402 inhabitants, more than double the current 184.
