City in Spain

Zamora

3 things to see

With one of the highest concentrations of Romanesque churches in Europe, Zamora packs an extraordinary density of medieval architecture along the Douro River, and most of those churches are free to step into. Wandering the old town, the riverside, and the castle grounds costs nothing, and prices stay low year-round in this quietly stunning Castilian city. The Holy Week processions are among Spain’s most atmospheric. It links easily by road and rail with Salamanca and Valladolid for a low-cost inland Castile loop.
