La Aldehuela

La Aldehuela (Aldehuela means 'small village' in Spanish) is a municipality of Spain in the province of Ávila, in the Autonomous Community of Castile and León. It has a 17.04 km² area, a population of 233 inhabitants (2005) and a density of 13.91 people/km².

The mayor is José Hernandez Lazaro, who belongs to the People's Party (PP). The corporation is formed by five councilmen of this party and one of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).

La Aldehuela had 237 inhabitants according to the census conducted by the Spanish National Institute of Statistics (INE) in 2004. 117 of them were men and 120 women.

La Aldehuela contains 5 districts:

The municipality is 70 kilometers from Ávila by the N-110 road. The 319.5 road divides the main body of population of the village. La Aldehuela extends along and is contained within the fertile and narrow valley of the Caballeruelos River, running from northeast to southwest. The valley is delimited by the mountain range of Piedrahíta to the southeast and cols near La Horcajada towards the northwest, giving passage from the Valley of the Corneja to the valley of the Tormes. This circumstance has the effect that the village's local allegiance varies, although generally, according to the sources, it considers itself as part of the region of the Valley of the Corneja. The Delegation of Ávila however assigns the municipality to the macroregion of Barco-Piedrahi'ta (in any case most western of the province).

Nearest mountains are: Tayaruela (1,963 m.s), the Meadow, Los Barranqueros, Level Head, la Campana, Caballera Rock and Los Rullos.

The Caballeruelos River is very irregular and every summer is almost dried up. It rises near the mountain ranges of the Flagstone and of Santiago. Numerous streams and springs flow into it (Rebollar, Bullicio, Gargantilla and others). The Caballeruelos finally ends the Tormes at the municipal term of Vallehondo after passing through Santa María de los Caballeros and San Lorenzo de Tormes.
