Santa María del Prado
Santa María del Prado is a locality belonging to the municipality of Matamala de Almazán. The location is conveniently situated just 3 km away on the SO-P-4178 road from Matamala.
Following the collapse of the Ancien Régime, the municipality was established in the Castilla la Vieja region.
A visit to the church, which belongs to the diocese of Osma-Soria and to the Archpriesthood of Almazán, is highly recommended.
The site includes an ancient fountain, a remnant of the way people once lived in these rural villages. The residents of Santa María del Prado were required to collect drinking water from this spring, which also served as a watering place for livestock.
The town holds a celebration in honour of San Mateo on 21 September. A communal meal is held for the entire village on the day of San Isidro, 15 May.
