Puebla de Sanabria, Medieval castle town in Zamora Province, Spain.
Puebla de Sanabria is a municipality situated between the Tera and Castro rivers in Zamora Province at 941 meters elevation. Stone buildings, narrow lanes, and ancient fortifications create the fabric of this medieval settlement.
The castle was built in the 15th century by order of the Count of Benavente, and its four towers and thick walls remain visible today. The fortress demonstrates the strategic role this location played in the region's past.
The church of Nuestra Señora de Azogue holds religious and artistic importance in the town's life, with its carved stonework reflecting the skilled craftsmanship of centuries past. Local residents and visitors gather here to experience a space that connects to the region's spiritual traditions.
The town is best explored on foot, as narrow streets make vehicular access difficult in many areas. The tourist information office in the Town Hall can guide you and help you navigate the settlement.
Local cooking prepares trout, octopus, and bean stews using a method called 'a la sanabresa,' a regional technique that slow-cooks ingredients together. This traditional preparation is less common outside this area.
