My wife and I visited this church in May, 2019. If you are near Zamora (which itself is certainly worth visiting!) and have your own car, it is a must-see. You can read the other 5-star posts to understand why it is great to visit. I would add two things. El Campillo is in an old village, so you really get a feel for the countryside. In May there were red poppies along the roads and "waves of grain" on the gentle hills when the wind blew. The other wonderful memory of the church was of the local woman who looks after visitors. She had very little English but that did not matter. With a bit of Spanish, you should be able to understand enough of what she is saying, and her enthusiasm is infectious. Just be sure to knock if the door seems locked. It was windy and rather cool on the day we visited, the church is of course unheated (being Visigothic), and she had the doors wedged shut to keep from freezing. Our visit to San Pedro de la Nave will be a prized memory for a long time. By the way, when you arrive at the village, there is a sign pointing to the church which seems to be incorrectly placed. If you ignore the sign, as we did, you will find yourself driving through impossibly narrow streets. Fortunately we did not meet another car.
