Tips from the Community
From this point on the trail, you can enjoy spectacular views of Lake Sanabria. Located in the province of Zamora, at over 1,000 meters above sea level, it is the largest glacial lake on the Iberian Peninsula and the heart of the natural park that bears its name. Its clear, deep waters, surrounded by oak forests and peat bogs, unusual at this latitude, create a natural environment of great ecological richness. To make the most of your getaway, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing, as the mountain weather can change rapidly.

As soon as we start the Tejedelo route, we come across this recreational area where there are several tables where you can sit down to enjoy a country meal in the shade of the trees and with the coolness of the river.
