The Aliste River is a watercourse that originates in the Sierra de la Culebra, in the district of San Pedro de las Herrerías, in the province of Zamora, Spain. Along its route, it passes through the towns that make up the valley of the region that bears its name. Some of these towns include Mahíde, Las Torres de Aliste, Pobladura de Aliste, Palazuelo de las Cuevas, San Vicente de la Cabeza, Bercianos de Aliste, Flores de Aliste, Gallegos del Río, Domez, Vegalatrave, Vide de Alba, El Castillo de Alba, and finally reaches Carbajales de Alba.

The Alba de Aliste Castle is an old medieval fortification located in the town of the same name, belonging to the municipality of Losacino, in the province of Zamora, Spain. The remains of the castle are located on a hill that overlooks the Aliste river and the Retael stream. Although its geographical environment is currently profoundly modified due to the construction of the Ricobayo dam, this castle had notable defensive value in its time.
