El Bohodón is a municipality in Spain belonging to the province of Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. It is located in the La Moraña region, in the north of the province. It is located 35 kilometers from the capital and 17 kilometers from Arévalo.

The place name Mingorría retains Basque reminiscences, deriving from “mendi gorria,” which means “red mountain” or “red land.” This is observed in other cases in the province of Ávila, such as the town of Mendigorría in Navarra. In historical documents, Mingorría already appears as Ningorría, and it is believed that there was an assimilation due to the change of the liquid initials “M” to “N.” Another legend attributes the name of Mingorría to the notice that José Chinchurreta gave to monarch Felipe II, justifying the delay in the supply of granite during the works of the Monastery of El Escorial.

Small population where two rivers bathe the lands of the municipality, to the east the Adaja river and to the west the Arevalillo river, a tributary of the previous one.

A small town that is characterized by its location close to the banks of the Adaja river where it flows through the territory of the municipality. The surroundings of the town are beautiful, as is the church that is in the old center of the town.
