Vía de la Plata
11.3 km, 92 m up and 42 m down, through 0 places. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from El Real de la Jara. 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.
About 1km after leaving El Real, the camino crosses a small creek which marks the entrance to the region of Extremadura. It continues to follow rural trails until El Culebrin and the adjacent 24h truck stop.
From the truck-stop, the camino navigates around a pair of heavily trafficked roundabouts to pass beneath the A-66. From there if follows adjacent to the N-630 all the way into Monesterio.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 67 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 11.5 km.
