Discover Cheese Tourism in Zamora. Enjoy an exclusive overnight stay at La Antigua de Fuentesaúco cheesery with your España Discovery guide.
There is a maxim in the world of motorhome travel: the destination is important, but the journey is everything. However, as of 2026, this phrase takes on a new meaning when the road leads us to the province of Zamora. In the heart of the La Guareña region, Quesería La Antigua de Fuentesaúco has established itself not only as a temple of flavor but also as a fundamental host within the España Discovery network. This partnership marks the birth of a concept that is gaining more and more followers among travelers: Cheese Tourism.
Cheese tourism is much more than a simple product tasting. It is an invitation to understand the land through its pastures, its seasons, and the wisdom of those who have transformed sheep's milk into an everlasting art. For the traveler seeking authenticity, this stop in Zamora offers an opportunity to spend the night in a safe and exclusive environment, far from the hustle and bustle of conventional rest areas and under the protection of one of the most innovative cheeseries in the country.

La Antigua de Fuentesaúco and the Legacy of Queso Zamorano D.O.P.
To understand why the cheese from this region is so special, we must look at the soil beneath our feet. The province of Zamora is the cradle of the Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) Queso Zamorano, a distinction that guarantees each piece has been crafted using only milk from indigenous sheep breeds: the Churra and the Castellana. These sheep, adapted to the harshness of the Castilian climate, produce milk of exceptional quality, ideal for long and complex aging processes.
La Antigua de Fuentesaúco has successfully taken this historical baton into the 21st century. During the visit, motorhome travelers can discover how every stage of the process is cared for, from the reception of the raw material to the pampering in the maturation chambers. This is where time does its work, allowing young, semi-cured, and aged cheeses to develop their own personalities. Notable specialties include those aged in extra virgin olive oil or with rosemary, which add layers of complexity to an already robust product.
Exploring Zamora Region by Motorhome
Although the cheesery is the heart of the visit, the location in Fuentesaúco allows travelers to explore an area of Castile and León that often falls off the more saturated tourist circuits. The La Guareña region offers a landscape of crops and gentle hills that invites slow driving. Just a short distance away, the Romanesque architecture of Zamora awaits those who wish to complement gastronomy with culture, offering churches and monuments that seem frozen in time.
These types of routes give meaning to España Discovery. By supporting local producers, the traveler becomes an active participant in rural development. Taking a cheese directly from the hands of the producer is not just buying food; it is taking a piece of Zamora’s history back to your motorhome’s fridge. These are the flavors that, months later, when opening a wedge in any other corner of the continent, will transport you back to that quiet night in Fuentesaúco.
How to Visit La Antigua with your España Discovery Guide

In a world that travels faster and faster, cheese tourism in Zamora proposes the exact opposite: stop the engine, shift down a gear, and enjoy the maturation of things well done. Because, sometimes, the best destination is not on the map, but on the palate.
