Vía de la Plata
27.9 km, 354 m up and 335 m down, through 2 places. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Fuenterroble de Salvatierra. 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.
Between Fuenterroble and Morille the camino splits into two distinct routes. The split happens 11.7km from Fuenterroble at a place signposted as Dueña de Abajo.LEFT ROUTE - 31.8km (20.1km from split)This route is slightly longer but has the benefit of hosting a pair of albergues in San Pedro de Rozados. However, that is the only village with any services until Morille. The high point along the way is the Pico de la Dueña (14.4km) and beyond that is the private pig farm Calzadilla del Mendigos (6.8km).RIGHT ROUTE (THE ALTERNATE ROUTE) - 29.2km (17.5km from split)Slightly shorter but with two places to stop for a coffee, this is the preferred route if you are going through to Salamanca.
San Pedro sits slightly off the camino — you can continue along the road to Morille without entering town. Two albergues make it a convenient stop if the distance works. The town has a bar and basic supplies.
The path splits here and rejoins before San Pedro de Rozados. Both ways are below, because the question is which to take, and that is not a question two separate pages can answer.
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 28 km.
