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

In 1954, the Tormes Metallurgical Company moved from Calzada de Medina to Avenida de la Aldehuela, becoming part of the S.A. Mirat complex. Many people from Salamanca surely remember the building that housed the metallurgical plant, located opposite the old provincial prison -currently Da2- until its demolition in the eighties of the last century. María Ordoñez and Mark Zoder have been studying Mirat's history for years, commissioned by the company. No one better than them to write the history of the Tormes Metallurgical Company as part of S.A. Mirat. Currently, the company continues to generate electricity at the Villagonzalo power station. 27, 5x15cm, €2.5
