It's one of those spots that catches you by surprise on the route: sober, solid, and perfectly integrated into the flat landscape of Zamora. It rises among fields and low houses like a rural beacon marking the rhythm of your pedaling. Riding along quiet trails and seeing it appear in the background has its own charm. Ideal for a quick photo on the bike, refilling water if needed, and continuing on to longer routes through Benavente or Villafáfila. If you're looking to connect towns with spirit, this tower is worth a stop.

An incredible stretch of the 'Vía la Plata' pilgrimage route south of Benavente towards the small town of Barcial del Barco. Disused railway line converted into an adventure paradise, far from cars and traffic.

Here you will find a pretty little town in the province of Zamora. A good place to taste wine and enjoy a good meal.

It's not the only singletrack near Morales de Rey but I still like it. He is not overly technical and has appeared in several races around here.

Here you will find traditional cellars dug into the slopes of El Teso and Peña Redonda. These wineries, historically were a meeting place for neighbors and wine production. The largest number of this type of winery in the region is located here near Morales del Rey.

Benavente is a good place to start or end a fun mountain bike adventure. If you have time you can also visit the museum in the old Casa Solita palace, the church of Santa María del Azogue and the Castillo de la Mota fortress.
