METALÚRGICA DEL TORMES (II) AND THE MIRAT FAMILY ON AVENIDA DE LA ALDEHUELA, 1954-1981

In 1954, Metalúrgica del Tormes relocated from Calzada de Medina to Avenida de la Aldehuela, becoming part of the S.A. Mirat complex. Many residents of Salamanca will surely recall the building that housed the metalworks, located opposite the former provincial prison – now Da2 – until its demolition in the 1980s. María Ordoñez and Mark Zoder have been studying Mirat's history for years, commissioned by the company. No one is better suited than them to write the history of Metalúrgica del Tormes as part of S.A. Mirat. Currently, the company continues to generate electricity at the Villagonzalo hydroelectric plant. 27.5x15cm, €2.50
