 | | The ARRIBES DEL DUERO are a beautiful natural formation created by the Duero river as it cuts through granite rock as it marks the border between Portugal and Spain, creating an impressive 50 km-long canyon. |
 | | This Spanish-Portuguese region, which includes the Zamora and Salamanca provinces, is characterized by its granite rock formations, which together with its extreme climatic conditions (temperatures and rainfall), have resulted in poor, shallow soils, well suited to extensive livestock farming and vineyards. |
 | | The lack of specialization in any one type of farming, due to the area´s characteristics, has meant greater diversification in land use: livestock, arable, forestry, and a sectioned terrain. |
