My wife and I visited this church in May, 2019. If you are near Zamora (which itself is certainly worth visiting!) and have your own car, it is a must-see. You can read the other 5-star posts to understand why it is great to visit. I would add two things. El Campillo is in an old village, so you really get a feel for the countryside. In May there were red poppies along the roads and "waves of grain" on the gentle hills when the wind blew. The other wonderful memory of the church was of the local woman who looks after visitors. She had very little English but that did not matter. With a bit of Spanish, you should be able to understand enough of what she is saying, and her enthusiasm is infectious. Just be sure to knock if the door seems locked. It was windy and rather cool on the day we visited, the church is of course unheated (being Visigothic), and she had the doors wedged shut to keep from freezing. Our visit to San Pedro de la Nave will be a prized memory for a long time. By the way, when you arrive at the village, there is a sign pointing to the church which seems to be incorrectly placed. If you ignore the sign, as we did, you will find yourself driving through impossibly narrow streets. Fortunately we did not meet another car.

Semana Santa in Zamora is a really big deal but we were too early for it. Going to this museum you get to see sculptures that the walk thought the streets and appreciate their quality and importance. Each one represents a different part of the story and this combined with the history of Semana Santa gives a great insight into the religious culture in Spain Well worth a visit!

Well preserved castle, great views from the parapets and access to pretty much every part of the structure.

There were mills here in the 10th century. These mills have been reconstucted and are fascinating..There are 3 different types of mills, a gristmill for producing flour, a trip hammer mill for pounding metal from the forge and finally the fulling mill for the production of wool and linen cloth. The mills are open to the public and entry is free. It's a very picturesque riverside walk. This is a not to be missed place

As many people have remarked in reviews, the tapestries are what makes an interesting cathedral a must-see. They are truly breathtaking, and are well worth a detour to see. Some down in the main cathedral, but the bulk of them are upstairs in their own museum part. We nearly missed this, and it would have been a real shame.
10. Plaza Mayor de Zamora
