Aldeadávila de la Ribera is a village and municipality in the north-west of the province of Salamanca, western Spain, part of the autonomous community of Castile and León.
Two main rock types can be identified in the municipality: granitoids, among which the granitic massif in which the Aldeadávila dam is excavated stands out; and schists and slates of the Schist-Grauvaic Complex.
Corporario is a locality of just over 150 inhabitants located immediately next to Aldeadávila, so close to it that they practically form the same urban nucleus.
It was an independent municipality until 1972, when it was annexed to Aldeadávila, mainly due to the lack of economic means to provide the obligatory minimum services.
It has existed since the 12th century due to the hermits who settled in the Convent of La Verde, which after its abandonment was remodelled and reused as an inn in the 1950s.
It has always depended administratively on Aldeadávila and among its nooks and crannies the most interesting place is undoubtedly the rock which, according to legend, protected the Blessed Saint Marina.
Scenes from audiovisual productions such as Doctor Zhivago and La cabina by José Luis López Vázquez have been filmed here.
In the 16th century it was joined to the church, forming the bell tower, and the beautiful gate on the north side with Ionic columns was built.
[citation needed] El Encinar necropolis is an early medieval archaeological site comprising a total of five sarcophagus tombs scattered on a hillside, halfway between the municipality and the Convent of La Verde.
