Torre del Bierzo (Leonese: Torre de Santa Marina) is a village and municipality in the region of El Bierzo (province of León, Castile and León, Spain). According to the 2004 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 2,736 inhabitants.
In 1944 it was the site of a train disaster in which it is believed between 200 and 800 people died when three trains collided in a tunnel.
The main historical landmark of the village is a Roman bridge over Tremor river built in the first century. It was part of the Via Nova or Via XVII, one of the main routes connecting the actual cities of Braga (Portugal) and Astorga (Spain)

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 Torre del Bierzo's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
