San Martín was a village in the municipality of La Fregeneda (Salamanca Province) on the Águeda River, directly on the border with Portugal, which was abandoned. Starting in the mid-20th century, as in many peripheral areas, a strong rural exodus began here. This was exacerbated by the closure of the cross-border railway line La Fuente de San Esteban – Barca d'Alva (a spectacular route with 20 tunnels and seven bridges along the Águeda River). After its closure, the area lost infrastructure and jobs, and the remote hamlets were abandoned.
