Excursion in the province. Toro:

Visiting Toro is a pleasant surprise. Small town also located on the banks of the Duero River, upstream from Zamora, with a magnificent view over the river. Toro known for its wine, has its own denomination of origin, Vino de Toro . The wine of this region had a reputation for full bodied wine, but in recent years several types have been created, which have resulted in the production of more refined wines. If you wish, we can visit one of its many wineries.

The great attraction of Toro is its Collegiate Church . A late 12th century church. Beautifully restored in 2011, it has managed to restore its entrance with the original colors. In addition, in Toro we see a large amount of Mudejar-style architecture.

We often combine a visit to Zamora with a visit to Toro.
