Curiosities of Santa Marta de Tormes

Santa Marta de Tormes, next to the city of Salamanca, is far more than a simple dormitory town. Shaped by the Tormes River and a vibrant artistic revival, it has developed a unique and surprising identity.

• The “Isla del Soto”: a green lung in the river
  This is the municipality’s most beloved and distinctive spot. A 14-hectare fluvial island in the middle of the Tormes River, once used for agriculture and grazing, it is now a stunning natural park. Stroll among giant outdoor sculptures, observe birdlife and enjoy nature without leaving the urban area.

• An open-air art museum beneath your feet
  Santa Marta has become a benchmark for urban art. Beyond its impressive murals, the Route of Murals and Sculptures transforms the streets into a living gallery, featuring trompe-l'œil paintings and sculptures made from recycled industrial materials.

• The surprising Historic Motorcycle Museum
  Few expect to find one of the area’s most important motorcycle collections here. The Museo de la Moto Histórica showcases beautifully preserved mechanical masterpieces, delighting motor enthusiasts and surprising curious visitors alike.

• The Museum of Engraving and Printmaking
  A highly specialised cultural landmark, the Museo del Grabado y la Estampa Popular houses works from the 16th century to the present day. Its technical and artistic value is remarkable for a town of this size.

• The “Town of Peppers”
  Thanks to the fertile lands along the Tormes, Santa Marta was historically known for its rich orchards. So famous were its crops that locals are still known as “pimenteros”, a source of pride that endures today.

• The Camino de Santiago de Levante
  One of the routes of the Camino de Santiago crosses Santa Marta. Pilgrims pass through the town before reaching monumental Salamanca, following the path that leads them across the Tormes River.

• From village to city in record time
  At the start of the 20th century, Santa Marta was little more than a handful of farmhouses. In just a few decades, it grew to over 15,000 inhabitants, becoming one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Castilla y León.
