Posada Real
La Mula De Los Arribes
Zamora
Where Rest is Born among Granite Livestock Sculptures and Steles
The Posada Real La Mula de los Arribes was born from the careful renovation of an old 19th-century farmhouse, located in the center of the picturesque town of Villardiegua de la Ribera, in the heart of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park, a Transfrontier Biosphere Reserve of the Iberian Plateau.
The main house, dating back to 1869, is an example of rural architecture, built in stone and with heritage elements integrated into its walls: remains of pre-Roman funerary steles, inscriptions, and granite livestock sculptures.

An Authentic Rural Retreat

The renovation has preserved the original elements of both houses, respecting their popular essence, while incorporating the necessary amenities for today’s traveler.
The Posada Real La Mula de los Arribes offers an authentic, cozy, and historic rural retreat, ideal for those seeking disconnection and nature in its purest form.
