Zamora Cuisine:

Meat is very important to Zamora's cuisine.  Roast baby goat and roast suckling pig are very popular dishes.  Veal from Aliste, Sayago and Sanabria enjoys deserving fame thanks to the quality of the bovine breed and to the environmentally-sound breeding system they have implemented.

About the Area

The city of Zamora in Castella, preserves in its old town an important legacy of Romanesque art, which has earned it the status of an Historic-Artistic site.

Set on the banks of the River Duero and right on the Via de la Plata (Silver Road) route, its medieval importance has left a decided impact in the shape of walls, palaces and churches.  To get to know the history and art of the province better, the best thing to do is to explore one of the towns on the Duero Route or the Via de la Plata.

You can get to know the region in more depth through its cuisine and traditions, like the celebration of Easter, declared to be of International Tourist Interest.

Attractions

Museo de Semana Santa - Pl. Santa Mari­a la Nueva - Sculpted floats from the turn of the 20th Century stand under guard by hooded mannequins.  Rather bizarre, but definitely worth a visit. 

 

Museo de la Catedral - One of the prized possessions of the museum is the 15th Century Black Tapestry that depicts the story of the Trojan War. 

 

Cathedral - This Romanesque building dates to 1135.  The Byzantine dome was added in later years.  Fernando Gallegoâ´s "Christ in Glory" is also on display here.

 

 

 

Largely due to the arrival of Ryanair the passenger traffic at Valladolid has grown from just 195,000 passengers in 2001 to just over 400,000 in 2005.

Valladolid is the capital city of the Castile - Leon area and the airport is around 10 kms outside of the City centre.

The Valladolid arrivals hall is fairly small with only two carousels. The departures area at Valladolid airport includes 8 check in desks and it is here that you will also find a cafe, restaurant and small shop selling cigarettes, newspapers etc.

Parking at Valladolid is quite reasonable and there are 246 spaces plus about another 80 spaces reserved for hire cars.

Valladolid Airport Taxis can be found outside of the main terminal building and cost between 16-20 euros for a trip into the City.
