Services

Aldea del Cano sits 500 m off the camino and is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. The albergue is here -- ask for the key at the bar next door (Las Vegas). The village has a couple of bars and a small shop, enough to refuel before the walk to Valdesalor and on to Caceres. It's a quiet, functional stop.

The Camino:

If you stayed in Aldea del Cano, take the road adjacent to the albergue to return to the camino. It follows country roads again, passes under the motorway, and over the Aerodromo de la Cervera. When it gets to the Rio Salor take the left-most bridge straight to Valdesalor.

Warning the albergue is now no longer operating!

Plan ahead...The albergue in this town is now closed, bar is open still , The two stores close at 2pm and don't open back up. I stayed at the case rural 40 euros. The next town/stop with albergue was too far for me.

Breakfast at Gas station

If you stay in Aldea del Cano and want an early breakfast check the Repsol Gas Station 1km from Aldea towards Valdesalor, just 100m off the camino. Good coffee and gigantic tortilla, I saved half of it for lunch.
