Sanabria’s Lake route, Zamora

There are few times as good to photograph the nature of Spain as autumn. Although for some, these months may seem a little melancholic, the truth is that seeing the forests dyed in all possible shades between yellow and red cheers anyone up. On this occasion, Qualitycarsworld delves into the magical oak forests that surround El Lago de Sanabria. We propose a trip to the lake and its surroundings.

Considered a natural site of national interest, being declared a Natural Park in 1978, the attractive Lake Sanabria is the largest lake of glacial origin on the Iberian Peninsula. Let’s see what he hides.

Sanabria Lake Route

We leave from Madrid, towards Coruña, and in about three hours, we begin to see on the horizon the prelude of colors that awaits us. Winding road where there is one, we cross Puebla de Sanabria, the epicenter of everything, El Puente, Galende, Pedrazales, and Ribadelado , on the other shore, San Martín de Castañeda, from where we can enjoy the best views of the lake.

The surroundings of the lake are an ideal place to go hiking, pick mushrooms, enjoy the tranquility that this wonderful natural environment offers you, practice water sports if the water temperature does not slow you down and of course, of course, enjoy its traditional gastronomy.

Sanabria's Castle

Our recommendation for eating is the Abelardo Restaurant, in Puebla de Sanabria. They offer us an extensive menu in which the Zamora veal chop, cod and a wonderful Octopus a la Sanabresa stand out. All this while enjoying the views from its Mirador.

Finally, something that is fashionable everywhere, of course, a good gin and tonic. Many brands of gins and tonics serve it to us at El España.
