Originally a group of cattle-raising hamlets, the municipality comprises different settlements: Las Herreras, El Pimpollar, La Hoya, Navalespino, La Paradilla, Robledondo, Santa María de la Alameda and Santa María Estación. In time, the nucleus of "Santa María Estación", developed around the railway station, has grown to become the most populated settlement. The capital of the municipality (the namesake "Santa María de la Alameda") is located at an elevation of 1,409 metres.

The municipality covers an area of 74.41 km2, including the exclave of Dehesa de la Cepeda, a mostly pasture area geographically located between the provinces of Ávila and Segovia in the autonomous community of Castile and León.

The local larder

What almost never fails in a village like Santa María de la Alameda.

Pan de pueblo

From a wood-fired oven if you're lucky; ask what time the batch comes out.

Queso de pastor

There's almost always a cheesemaker nearby; the local shop will know which one.

Miel de la sierra

From local beekeepers: wildflower or rosemary, depending on the hills.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

We haven't confirmed Santa María de la Alameda's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
