The Sofreral de Cerezal is a cork oak forest (called sofreros in the area), the largest in Castile and León. Leaving the village, you cross a wonderful path about 4 km long.

It spans the Duero River in Zamora (Castilla y León), connecting Avenida de Portugal (Pinilla neighborhood) with Calle de Salamanca in the city. The project began in 1882, with construction starting in 1892, under the direction of engineer Prudencio Guadalajara, to alleviate the overloading of the old Stone Bridge. Inaugurated in 1900, it represented a significant improvement in handling the growing traffic in the city. It was designed in steel, using a metal lattice structure of the St. Andrew's Cross type, typical of the late 19th century.

This monument consists of three monoliths representing the three roads that converge at this location: the Via de la Plata, the Calzada Mirandesa, and the Via Dalmacia; and a curb where pilgrims can write a wish on a stone and throw it into the curb for it to come true.

It's striking to find a church of this size in a small town, but its origin lies in a tradition that dates back to the late 13th century. Tradition tells us that while King Sancho IV was in Zamora recovering from a fever and wanting to escape his boredom, he organized a hunting trip. During the hunt, one of his falcons shot down a partridge and, upon hunting, found it sheltered among some broom bushes, protected by a small statue of the Virgin. The king ordered the statue of the Virgin to be immediately moved to the Church of San Antolín in the city of Zamora and ordered a church dedicated to Santa María la Real to be erected in her honor on the spot where the statue was found.

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.
