Presentation of Almeida

The municipality of Almeida (aka Almeida de Sayago; 554 inhabitants in 2010; 7,637 ha) is located in the south of the Zamora Province, 40 km from Zamora.

Almeida is said to have been formed by the merging of seven Celtiberian (Vetton) villages. In the Middle Ages, the village was resettled by Galician and Portuguese colonists, including Jews who lived in the Gurto borough.
The Almeida Spa (Balneario de Almeida) was founded in 1896 to use the sulphur-bearing waters of the Source of the Sayago Heart, whose healing properties had been known for ages; the same year, the water was officially declared of public interest. Abandoned in the 1960s, the spa was revamped by Antonio Acha and reinaugurated on 15 June 2006 (website).
