Paseo Fluvia Alternate Route

Vía de la Plata

Vía de la Plata App

Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Vía de la Plata app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

Though not marked with yellow arrows, this river walk is easy to follow and used by locals for exercise and evening strolls. It follows both sides of the river, but since you'll need to exit to the east it's best to stick to the right bank.

The route requires a road crossing near the Ford factory, but the river path resumes on the other side.

From the Ford factory the river walk passes under five bridges, and after the fifth it becomes a boardwalk for a short distance. At the sixth crossing (all overhead) it's time to turn right and away from the river. With the river behind you, walk straight towards the main road and the centre of the old town on the opposite side.

What this route lacks in signage it makes up for in scenery and the absence of traffic.
