Zamora, the "Capital of Romanesque", is an artistic and serene stop on the Via de la Plata. Watered by the majestic River Duero, the city offers pilgrims a unique set of Romanesque churches in Europe, with over twenty temples inviting a peaceful and contemplative walk. The crown jewel is its Cathedral, famous for its spectacular dome inspired by Byzantine gallons, a singular architectural element that distinguishes it from any other. Pilgrims can enjoy a stroll through the well-preserved old town, cross the medieval stone bridge, and admire views from its walls. Zamora is a city lived at a slow pace, ideal for rest and reflection. With a good selection of hostels and robust Castilian cuisine, it's an enriching cultural stop. It's a fundamental milestone on the Way of St. James that allows walkers to immerse themselves in the splendor of Romanesque art before facing the decision to continue to Astorga or take the Sanabria route.
