Vía de la Plata
11.2 km, 56 m up and 58 m down, through 0 places. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Aldea del Cano. 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.
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.
The camino leaves town along the N-630 for a short distance. At the Repsol gas station, it turns towards the right to cross over the motorway. It climbs gently to the Puerto de las Camellas (4.9 km). The path is soft until the suburbs of Caceres begin.
The camino enters the old town of Caceres from the east.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 48 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 10.8 km.
