Zamora: Spain's Architectural Treasure Unveiled

In this video I visit the cultural and architectural delight that is the city of Zamora, Spain.

I film my videos on #lumix cameras and lenses and sometimes on an iPhone.

I am visiting Zamora in Jan'22; magnificent video of Zamora!

I love watching your city tours Stuart. Extremely informative and you’re phenomenal at keeping attention throughout the whole video.. not easy to do. Also behind the scenes what people don’t see is how many kilometers you probably walked to film this video albeit a smaller city. Travel Vlogging is great exercise.

A great, small city. A trip to this overlooked architectural jewel has been long coming. Zamora is connected to Madrid by train, which takes about one hour thirty. By the end of the year the Zamora-Ourense high-speed line is due to open. That will be a spectacular trip with kilometers of bridges and tunnels since it is a very mountainous area. I can hardly wait to try it out.

Thanks for taking time to share the beautiful city views at the end of the video.

I passed through Zamora while walking the Camino a few years ago. I stayed a couple of days to visit all the Romanesque churches. The graffiti problem seems a lot worse now. I live in Perth, which is hardly affected by the graffiti issue. This is because professional graphic artists have been employed to work on big murals on the sides of large buildings. Ditto in regional areas where they produce paintings on grain silos. One such artist is Amok Island, born in Amsterdam and based in Fremantle. BTW, your travel videos would be better if you did a "behind the camera" commentary, so that we could focus more on the buildings being described. No offence, just a suggestion!

Having spent 30 years at the University of Salamanca in the summer teaching (1989-2019, I sometimes would get away to Zamora, lovely city, a must see in the region- do not forget to eat the famous Arroz Zamorano, will knock your eyes out

[davesaunders]

Agree with you regarding the blight that is graffiti, terrible to deface those old buildings. They should ban spray paint containers or somehow limit them to responsible users.

[lindabiegenwald]

Its sad to see all that graffiti on those ancient buildings

Stuart I was studying there for three years from 1966 1969, in an university for children of working people fully paid by the state, what a good times ! Have you seen the romanic churches so well restored, Viriato monument, the Cathedral, Santa Clara Street all along, River Duero which flows at the land of bread and wine ....North Zamora is Sanabria lake simply amazing It looks like very much Nech Lake in Scotland surrounded by great mountains the glaciar lake biggest in Spain over 1000 meters above the sea level ! Western Zamora are our portuguese brothers you go to stay don't go AC MARRIOT hotel, NH or Parador Nacional are quite better

Thank you for your kind words. From a "Zamorano"

It's beautiful in Zamora isn't it? It is a city but with a large town vibe, not too big and not too busy and no one seems in a hurry! I cycled through it when doing the Via de la Plata from Sevilla to Santiago. The whole of Castile y Leon was a privilege, so much so, I've flirted with moving there; with more manageable summer temperatures then here, between Málaga and Granada. The only thing that really puts me off is how you describe the area to have "long, bitter winters" not sure I can handle that!

So nice to see you out and about and sharing the beautiful places that you visit. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 🙏🏻

Just watched your video sat outside in the mountains in Murcia with my boyfriend (I live in England and sadly going home on Saturday). David introduced me to your videos and I find them absolutely fascinating and so informative. Keep up the good work 🙂

[Frisbeeninja]

Great Video! Keep up the good work, I like these style videos showing off these less known towns!

[evelynhay]

Zamora what a lot of beautiful buildings so lovely 🤗🤗

[theSSHITT]

Thank you very much for this lovely video Stew! More of these please! It was just wonderous. We also love that you fearlessly gave your opinion about the grafetti. We hate grafetti but love street art. We think it's very disrespectful to deface public historical monuments and private small businesses. These buildings are maintained through hard earned tax dollars that the Spanish citizens have had to part with even when salaries are so low. It must be hard for them to make that sacrifice, but it's so important to maintain your history. And the architecture is so impressive that it is almost an artform in itself. I would be so proud and want to maintain these magnificent gems. And it's difficult to open a small business and maintain it especially during a pandemic.Taxes and regulation is high, profits, I imagine are low. So when we saw two young people grafetting a small business in our neighborhood, we recorded it and showed it to the police. We commented that we did so on one of your videos. A commentor compared us to a fascist friar who reported disloyal citizens. He left a few comments in response to us that seemed like thinly veiled threats. And I think the comparison was unfair. Keep up the good work Stew and never be afraid to espouse your point of view and values!

Thank you for showing us another part of Spain Stuart it looks beautiful. I really enjoy these videos

[timothyrobson]

The quietest Spanish city I have ever visited. At least during the heat of the afternoon. There was no one in the street.

[bjarneholen]

Superb to have Stuart on a town walkabout again, great stuff!
