I am now getting this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villafranca_de_la_Sierra

It is late and maybe I am now seeing things  ;D It is however written up as Villafranca del Sierro, Leon.

Del Sierro or de la Sierra sound good to me with my Spanish hat!

Thank you very much, my father knew that he had some ancestor in leon but he did not know where. It seems a beautiful town, very close to Galicia. My father is going to be very happy to discover it
