From Zamora to Montamarta

Today's stage will be short and without steep slopes through the Land of Bread, a region in Zamora characterized by cereal fields. On the route that separates Zamora from the town of Montamarta, we will fully immerse ourselves in the vast farmland of the Castilian plateau, which will be the landscape we will see in most of the stages from here on out.

We leave Zamora from the Plaza Mayor towards the Puerta de Doña Urraca, cross the wall and descend towards La Hiniesta in the direction of Montamarta. We continue until we cross the A-11 and arrive at Roales del Pan.

We traverse the village and follow paths parallel to the N-630 until we cross the AVE Madrid-Galicia line. From here, we continue by road to the shelter of Montamarta.

Things to consider

Stage with sections along the road and crossings of the motorway. Caution is recommended, and it is advisable to take it as a rest day before reaching Granja de Moreruela.
