Porto is a small municipality in the Upper Sanabria region, located in the northwest corner of Zamora, bordering León and Orense. At over 1,200 meters above sea level, it is the highest town in the province and an ideal starting point for exploring the Segundera and Porto mountain ranges, with peaks exceeding 2,000 meters, such as Peña Trevinca. The surrounding area, part of the Sanabria Lake Natural Park, offers glacial lagoons, reservoirs, and a rich wildlife, where it is not uncommon to find roe deer, wolves, and golden eagles. Porto also preserves traditional Sanabria architecture and a 12th-century Romanesque church, adding cultural value to the visit. Hikers are advised to be well equipped, as the mountain climate brings harsh winters and short summers, but the reward lies in its solitary and beautiful landscapes.
