Zamora is a beautiful city with a lot of history behind it. Unfortunately I was there on a weekend and had to put up with a very touristy feeling in the city. I am glad that I chose this city to spend a rest day.

I attended two masses and noticed in both how old the active Catholic population seems to be,  based on my anecdotal evidence.
