Discover Entrala: Vía de la Plata, Winegrowing and Culture

Entrala is the last place on the Vía de la Plata before Zamora. Those who explore a place through its routes, landscape, buildings and customs will find several different points of connection here. You can read about these topics separately and give them different weight according to the focus of your trip, without having to combine them into a single local backdrop.

Landscape

Entrala is situated on a hill above the Duero Valley and approximately 9 km south of Zamora. Entrala’s clay- and gravel-dominated terrain has made it possible to cultivate traditional vineyards of Tierra del Vino. If you consider the natural and regional aspects separately, you can incorporate the elevation, valley and terrain into your planning as three different points of orientation. The specific landscape terms help you read impressions not merely as a general description, but sort them according to your own interests.

Routes

On the Vía de la Plata, El Perdigón is listed as the previous stop from Entrala, at a distance of 2.1 km. Zamora is listed on this route as the next stop from Entrala, at a distance of 6.2 km. The different distances help you consider both directions separately when planning. Entrala is one of the municipalities of Tierra del Vino included in the local pilgrim route. In Tierra del Vino de Zamora, there are wine cellars and winegrowers in addition to the Way of St. James. Routes and walks lead through the wine cellars of Entrala and other places near the Duero Valley. The stated distances can be compared independently of one another when you consider the route in both directions.
