Toro is a town and municipality in the province of Zamora, part of the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. The town is located on a escarpment off the right bank of the Douro, at an elevation of 740 metres (2,430 ft).
Toro is known as a center of Mudéjar art and as a wine-producing region. It is located roughly halfway between Zamora, the provincial capital and Tordesillas in the province of Valladolid. The four-lane freeway (autovía) A-11 now connects these two cities and passes just north of Toro. Highway N122 passes through the town. The distance to Madrid by highway is 220 km (137 mi). Distances to other cities are: 32 km (20 mi) to Zamora, 62 km (39 mi) to Valladolid and 72 km (45 mi) to Salamanca.
