Parador De Zamora
15TH C. RENAISSANCE PALACE
This palace, built on the site of a former Roman fortress in the middle of the
15th c., rises up in the historical centre of the capital of the province of
Zamora and offers the traveller the opportunity to discover all the beauty of
the natural, monumental and artistic surroundings of the lands of Zamora. The
medieval aroma of the interior, which can be appreciated in armour, noble rugs
and attractive four poster beds, is combined with the Renaissance style of its
courtyard, glazed wooden gallery and coats of arms. It has two conference rooms
and a refreshing swimming pool in the well looked-after garden outside. Wooden
floors and beams offer warmth to the decoration with a noble air. The menu of
the restaurant offers excellent dishes of traditional recipes such as "bacalao
a la tranca" (cod), "pulpo a la sanabresa" (octopus), "presas de ternera"
(stuffed roast veal) and, for dessert, "rebojo zamorano" (sweet cakes) and
"natillas almendradas" (almond custard).
