Sayago
Sayago is a ''comarca'' (county, but with no administrative role) in the province of Zamora in central Spain. Geography The ''comarca'' is located at the southwest of the Zamora Province. The main geographical characteristic is the isolation caused by the Douro and Tormes rivers canyons. Its borders are, consequently, well defined, specially to the north (Douro canyon separates Sayago from Aliste comarca), to the west (Douro canyon separates Sayago from Portugal) and to the south (Tormes canyon and Almendra Dam separate Sayago from the province of Salamanca).
