Itinerary description

- Leave the Town Hall on your left and go down Calle Costanilla towards the roundabout. Take the third exit and follow the N122 road. After 450m turn right on Calle Doctor Fleming, and head up until the entrance to the forest of Valorio (1). Km 1,0.
- Follow the signpost of the Portuguese Camino de Santiago to cross Valorio and reach the hermitage of Cristo de Valderey (2). Km 4,0.
- Return to the camino and continue until the local road, turn left and after a few meters on the tarmac, turn left under the highway. Then, continue along the dirt road of the Valderrey stream, first on the left side of the road and then on the right, which leads to the village of La Hiniesta (3), accessing the village church from our right. Km 9.0.
- On the way back, abandon the village through Calle Villar, cross the train lines to reach the Camino del Monte (4) (we can take it higher up or further down), turn left and follow until you hit the top of Valorio, right to cross the N-122. Km 15.5.
- Cross the road and on the left and between the fences, take and follow the road-street of Guimaré, reach and cross the San Isidro neighbourhood (5), through the contrast of the old neighbourhood on the left and the new villas on the right. Continue along the street of Espiritu Santo (6) and go down to the Almaraz road at the confluence with a milk factory (GAZA) , where you can take the bike lane back into Zamora. Km 17.5.

NOTE: This tour can be shortened 10km by accessing the Camino del Monte directly from the hermitage of Cristo de Valderey. Then, continue towards Valorio as if coming from La Hiniesta.

Highlights of the route:
(1) - The forest of Valorio
(2) -The hermitage of the Christ of Valderey: church, brotherhood and pilgrimage.
(3) -The Hiniesta village: church, brotherhood, procession, pilgrimage and legend.
(4) -Panoramic view of the west of the city, in the way to Valorio, from the higher track
