The Discover Zamora Letter · Monthly · Free

One email a month. Zero tourists.

The only English-language briefing written from inside Zamora. What opened, what closed, and the thing the guidebooks missed.

What lands in your inbox

Four things, once a month.

1. What opens, what closes. We verify Zamora's sights every week and publish the truth — including the closures, like the Holy Week Museum's works until January 2027 or the Parador's renovation until late 2027. Subscribers hear about changes first.

2. Eclipse 2026 updates. On 12 August 2026 the first total solar eclipse over mainland Spain since 1912 ends its path at sunset over this region — 20 to 37 seconds of totality in the city, 1 minute 23 seconds in Benavente. Observation points, logistics and last-minute changes, as they happen.

3. Holy Week 2027 dates and keys. Where to stand, when the 5 a.m. drum call sounds, how the brotherhoods work — the practical intel that turns spectating into understanding, ready before you book flights.

4. One local secret per issue. A bar, a viewpoint, a cheese counter, a back street. One thing per month that no English-language source has told you about Zamora. That's the promise.

The terms: monthly, in English, free forever. Unsubscribe whenever you like — one click, no hard feelings. We only write when we have something worth saying.
