Tips from the Community
Legend has it that during a flood in the early 20th century, a cart carrying its entire load of wheat was swept away, and the next day it reappeared intact beneath the central arch of the bridge, as if the river had kept it to return it. The locals considered it a miracle and for years left dried ears of wheat among the stones as an offering. Even today, in summer, when the water level drops, some of those ears can still be seen trapped in the cracks of the old wall.

It preserves its rural charm with adobe houses, a simple church, and quiet streets, perfect for leisurely strolls. The surroundings are completely flat, with wide, easy-to-ride trails, making it a good place to stop for a rest, refill water, or simply enjoy the most authentic Castilian landscape.

Beautiful routes with spectacular viewpoints over the Lake on the Monks Route. During this time of year with the heat, it is better to do it at dawn until 1 pm maximum or after 7:00 pm.

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.
