Presentation of San Felices de los Gallegos

The municipality of San Felices de los Gallegos (519 inhabitants in 2010; 8,143 ha) is located in the northwest of the Province of Salamanca, 100 km from Salamanca.

San Felices de los Gallegos, resettled in the 6th century by Galician (gallegos) colonists, became a strategic place due to its location close to the border with Portugal. In the modern period, the village, known as Sahelices la Grande, belonged to the Dukes of Alba and was the third biggest settlement in the west of Salamanca Province, superseded only by Ciudad Rodrigo and Ledesma. The dukes founded several monasteries and built a bridge. San Felices declined in the middle of the 19th century, being isolated from the railway and from the main roads.
