Zamora Province

A land of Romanesque art on the Duero River, where old town churches, Toro wines, and high-mountain glacial lakes each have their own flavor.

Zamora Province is located in northwestern Spain, bordering Portugal, with the Duero River flowing from east to west. The capital, Zamora, preserves a large number of Romanesque churches, with the Zamora Cathedral, the Church of La Magdalena, the Castle, and the Stone Bridge over the Duero forming the old town's character; its Holy Week processions are particularly famous, supported by the Holy Week Museum. Toro in the east features a collegiate church and a wine region, the Duero Canyon in the west offers dramatic terrain, and Lake Sanabria and the historic town of Puebla de Sanabria in the north are ideal for summer retreats. Spring and autumn are best. You can take a high-speed train from Madrid to Zamora.
