Zamora "in da hood"

We left Toledo and headed out across the wheat plains of Spain (rain this time of the year was mainly thunder storms at night!) stopping at Zamora which was just a mid point for a nights stopover but is a nice enough Medieval town in its own right. With 24 churches in the old part of town it has the most Romanesque style churches in all of Europe.


Great old streets again



One of the 24 chrches


At the end of the old city is the cathedral number 24

The other thing Zamora is famous for is Holly Week when the Easter brotherhood’s, parade through the streets (I’m sure some of the Zamoran’s have cousins in the deep south of the USA??)

The brothers in the hood!!

After a good walk and a beer or two around we raided the supermarket to get some food seeing as the restaurants don’t open until 10.00 and we were both getting very hungry.
