ZAMORA
Memoria en la piedra

Para empezar Zamora es la ciudad de Europa que conserva el mayor número de iglesias románicas, nada menos que veintidós.
El río Duero fue durante mucho tiempo frontera natural, en este caso reforzada por su estupenda muralla sobre la que destaca la catedral coronada por un original cimborrio de influencia oriental.
Pero no todo acaba ahí: hay un desconocido modernismo, un campus universitario que ha rehabilitado un cuartel, un moderno museo provincial, otro de etnografía y la fundación Rei Alfonso Henriques. Pero su mejor monumento está vivo: la semana Santa.
Los alrededores no lo son menos: Toro, Castillo de Castrotorafe, monasterio benedictino de Moreruela. Y para los amantes de la naturaleza dos lugares de ensueño: los Arribes del Duero y las lagunas de Villafáfila, donde incluso es posible contemplar avutardas. El helicóptero de "Ciudades" las siguen durante unos segundos y muestra con detalle a estos "jumbos" de la naturaleza.

ZAMORA
Memory in stone

To begin Zamora is a city in Europe that retains the greatest number of Romanesque churches, no less than twenty-two.
The Douro River has long been a natural border, in this case enhanced by its great walls on which stands the cathedral dome topped by an original oriental influence.
But not all end there: there is an unknown modernism, a campus that has rehabilitated a headquarters, a modern provincial museum, one of ethnography and the foundation Rei Alfonso Henriques. But his best monument is alive: Holy Week.
The surroundings are no less: Toro, Castle Castrotorafe, Moreruela Benedictine monastery. And for nature lovers dream two places: the Arribes del Duero and Villafáfila gaps where you can even contemplate bustards. The helicopter "Cities" follow them for a few seconds and shows in detail to these "jumbos" of nature.
