Camino De Levante
16.6 km, 23 m up and 53 m down, through 2 places, 1 of which has somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Villalazán. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
Villalazán is a small village on the road to Zamora. Basic services may be available — a bar. The village sits on the Duero, and the river is your guide for the final stretch into Zamora. The Roman bridge at Zamora is no…

The camino through the old town crosses the Plaza Mayor onto Calle de las Costanillas, which it follows downhill to the first roundabout. Cross directly over and continue along this road as it passes through the next intersection, passing the Iglesia de San Lázaro. Shortly after, the road splits and the camino veers to the left. This way is well marked with signs on posts, though you may see conflicting arrows for other routes.
There is a separate set of arrows in Zamora which direct the way along the Camino Portugués de la Plata, a route which turns westward into Portugal. Don't confuse these with the Levante arrows.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 87 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 16.7 km.
