March 4, 2025, Puente de Piedra de Zamora

The Stone Bridge of Zamora, also known as Puente Nuevo in the Middle Ages, is one of the five bridges that cross the Duero River in Zamora, Castile and León. This Romanesque bridge was built in the early 13th century and has been renovated on several occasions.

The best thing about the Puente de los Poetas is the panoramic view of the entire old town of Zamora, dominated by the tower and dome of the Cathedral, in front of the waters of the Duero River and, in the background, the Romanesque Bridge.

The Alba de Aliste Castle is an old medieval fortification located in the town of the same name, belonging to the municipality of Losacino, in the province of Zamora, Spain. The remains of the castle are located on a hill that overlooks the Aliste river and the Retael stream. Although its geographical environment is currently profoundly modified due to the construction of the Ricobayo dam, this castle had notable defensive value in its time.

This monastery complex, where Cistercians once prayed and worked day after day, even as a ruin still provides impressive evidence of the magnificent architecture. This monastic order (the order's Latin name is "Ordo Cisterciensis") takes its name from the French town of Citeaux in Burgundy, where the first monastery was founded in 1098. It is a reform branch of the Benedictines.
