Toro y Zamora Pictures

Here are some pictures that I got from other people of Toro and Zamora
Toro:
We went to a vineyard in Toro because the city is famous for its wine.

This is the sign from the front of the vineyard.

And here's the vineyard.


Secondary fermeneters and the wine-tasting room. This room smelled really good.

Wine in bottles. Apparently the wine in the bigger bottles is higher quality because of the way it interacts with the air in the neck of the bottle.

Wine bottles waiting to be boxed and shipped (and, of course, drunk).

Here's a picture of us tasting Tinta de Toro, the most famous wine from Toro. It was a bit dry and woody. The white, Piedra Verdejo, was sweeter and fruitier, and much more to my liking.

Zamora:

The cathedral.

Puente Romano

The house of El Cid, the famous Spanish general from the Reconquista (b 1040, and his name has been borrowed into Spanish to mean "general"). In Spanish, famous people are known by only one name (sort-of like Madonna...)

The bodega where we ate lunch. A bodega is officially a winery, but it can also be a wine cellar, which is the case here. The wine cellar has been turned into a restaurant that is well-known for its smoked meats.
