  Toro - Spanish Wine Region - Wine Tours Spain
Historically, Toro was part of the ancient kingdom of León, but now belongs to the region of Castilla-León, so several Madrid-based wine writers are using poetic licence in calling the area 'the Priorato of Castille'.
The soils around Toro are well-drained and often sandy, an environment not hospitable to the phylloxera bug - as a result, most vines are not grafted on to American rootstocks.
In recent years, the long-time Toro producer Manuel Fariña, whose Bodegas Fariña is still the major bodega exporting from the region, tamed alcohol levels and began to win international recognition for the concentration of fruit, balance, and price-to-quality of his red wines.

 ROCK ART & PETROGLYPHS: Report on Toro Muerto
The vast majority of Toro Muerto rocks contain only a handful of figures; and the number of rocks we were shown containing numerous motifs (though never more than a few dozen) was small -- maybe a dozen or fifteen.
We were shown evidence of natural damage (erosion) and of manmade damage (graffiti; broken rocks), but there did not seem to be much of the latter, especially once one was away from the area nearest the village.
The best long-term solution for Toro Muerto¹s survival (or at least the survival of the small part which is within easy reach of the village) is to educate the locals about the importance of the glyphs, so that they police the area themselves
