Quintanilla de las Torres

Quintanilla de las Torres is a town and also a hamlet of the municipality of Pomar de Valdivia in the autonomous community of Castile and León, in the province of Palencia, Spain.

On the P-630 regional road with access from the N-611, parallel to the A-67 highway, it has a halt on the Palencia-Santander railroad line, remodeled by Adif.

[2] At the fall of the Ancien Régime, the town became a constitutional municipality[3] and in the 1842 census it had 7 households and 36 residents, to later[4] become part of Villarén de Valdivia.

During the industrial revolution, with the arrival of the Palencia-Santander railroad and its connection from Quintanilla through a branch with Barruelo (to transport coal from the mines), the village grew rapidly to 441 inhabitants.

In 2013 it had 81 inhabitants, since the disappearance of the important railroad industry caused the population to leave.
