Transportation

The municipality is very well connected by road, through the N-630 national road that connects Gijón with Seville and allows you to go both to the provincial capital and to other nearby towns, parallel to this road runs the Ruta de la Plata highway which has the same route as the national one and which has a direct exit in Miranda, allowing faster communications with the rest of the country. Also in the municipality, the DSA-202 ends, which connects with the junction of the N-630 and Arapiles, at a crossroads where the DSA-106 road also ends, which joins it to the northeast with Calvarrasa de Arriba.

As far as public transport is concerned, after the closure of the Vía de la Plata railway route, which passed through the neighboring municipality of Arapiles, where it had a stop, there are no train services in the municipality or in the neighbors, nor regular line with bus service. On the other hand, Salamanca Airport is the closest, being about 26km away.
