El Cubo de Tierra del Vino to Zamora

What you pass through

Every place on the path in order, with the distance from El Cubo de Tierra del Vino. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.

   The camino from Villanueva de Campean is almost entirely through the countryside along well-marked paths. The entrance to Zamora is short, and your first real glimpse of the riverside city comes from the banks of the Rio Duero.

   Bar has been reported closed -- plan accordingly and carry food and water from El Cubo de Tierra del Vino.

   The camino through the old town crosses the Plaza Mayor onto Calle de las Costanillas, which it follows downhill to the first roundabout. Cross directly over and keep to this road as it passes through the next large intersection (passing the Iglesia de San Lazaro). Shortly after, the road splits and the camino veers left. The way is well marked with signs on posts. Along this stretch you may see conflicting arrows from the Camino Portugues de la Plata and the Camino de Levante -- follow the Via de la Plata markings north.

   There's a separate set of arrows directing the way along the Camino Portugues de la Plata, a route that turns westward into Portugal. At the same time, the Camino de Levante from Valencia enters Zamora from the east. Pay attention to which arrows you're following when leaving the city.
