Information about The Cube of the Land of Wine
El Cubo de Tierra del Vino is a town and municipality in the province of Zamora, located on the Camino de la Vía de la Plata. This is the first town in Zamora that pilgrims reach on their way to Santiago de Compostela. It is accessed after passing the border with Calzada de Valdunciel, through a small forest of holm oaks, rockroses and broom. Its name comes from the vineyards that once abounded in the area, but today are not preserved in that magnitude. It is a quiet, beautiful area, with some tourist attractions and a welcoming character.
What to see and do in The Cube of the Land of Wine
The fountain of El Chafaril
This fountain is an emblematic place in the town of Cubo de la Tierra del Vino. It was built by their ancestors in previous centuries with the mission to quench the thirst of passing animals and the town. It is a high quality water, with many benefits and from a spring. It is currently being refurbished to bring it back to the majestic place it once was.
The church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán
This temple was rebuilt in the 1940s. Nowadays, a belfry can be seen from its original construction. In front of the church there is a cross, located there since 2005 and replica of Santiago Peregrino that is located in its original version in the church of Santa Maria de Tera.

The aforementioned cruise also has its interest. This symbol of the Jacobean tradition was made by the Guadalupe Ramos de Castro Foundation and on its base you can read a legend in honour of Santiago Peregrino.
