Vía de la Plata
18.8 km, 43 m up and 162 m down, through 1 place, 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 El Cubo de Tierra del Vino. 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.
The camino continues straight through El Cubo on the main road, crosses a short bridge, and turns left onto a secondary road. The walking ahead is through open agricultural land toward Villanueva de Campean.
The camino from Villanueva de Campean is almost entirely through the countryside along well-marked paths. The entrance to Zamora is short, and your first real glimpse of the riverside city comes from the banks of the Rio Duero.
Bar has been reported closed -- plan accordingly and carry food and water from El Cubo de Tierra del Vino.
Located 1km off of the camino, about 4km after leaving Villanueva de Campeán.
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 13.1 km.
