Montamarta

Montamarta is a Zamoran town on the Via de la Plata that surprises pilgrims with its uniqueness and beautiful surroundings. Situated by the Ricobayo reservoir, it offers water and pasture landscapes of great appeal. Its main distinguishing feature is the ancient masked figure of "El Zangarrón", one of the most famous in the province, which is celebrated in winter. The Romanesque hermitage of the Virgin del Castillo, relocated stone by stone to save it from the reservoir's waters, is another treasure. For walkers, Montamarta is a stop that combines nature, popular culture and tranquility, offering a well-deserved rest and an unforgettable experience before continuing on the route towards Zamora.
