Vía de la Plata
56.5 km, 964 m up and 512 m down, through 17 places, 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 Verín. 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.
From Verín you can rejoin the other route in Laza (due North along the Támega Valley), or continue along this more southern route to Xinzo de Limia.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 572 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 14 km.
