From El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino to Zamora

On today's stage, we will cover more than thirty kilometers from Cubo de la Tierra del Vino to Zamora. It is presented as a stage with gentle slopes, with a strategic stop in Villanueva de Campeán, which is available if you need to shorten the stage, with all the necessary services.

We leave the town of Cubo de la Tierra del Vino behind, passing its church and magnificent crucifix to continue through the lands of Zamora. We continue crossing the stream of San Cristóbal, which leads us to a dirt track towards the abandoned railway lines. We proceed along the tracks until we divert five kilometers into a pass from which we will descend to Villanueva de Campeán. We leave this town behind to return to another dirt track that takes us to San Marcial, a village not included in the original route, but it does not divert or lengthen the path. We continue until we reach an ascending grassy path that leads us to the road ZA-313, from where we can already see the city of Zamora.

We continue along a poorly defined but well-signposted track that takes us to cross the stream El Perdigón, and we will continue for three kilometers until we reach the access to the industrial estate of Los Llanos, which guides us to the city of Zamora through a residential area. We arrive at the Medieval Bridge over which we will cross the Duero and continue to the Plaza de Santa María and later to the Plaza Mayor.

Things to consider

Zamora is a city with much to see, and its historic center is a delight with a marked medieval heritage. If you want to make the most of the day, we recommend leaving early from El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino. Another option is to split the stage into two, spending the night in Villanueva de Campeán.
