VdlP Day 20 - Jarilla to Banos de Montemayor. Just 20 kms today. This day again had some options. I have to say it was a really good day's walking. The staff in the Hostel Asturias gave us some information and some directions on walking the Via Verde. The Via Verde is...

VdlP Day 21 - Banos de Montemayor to La Calzada. A short day today just over 12 kilometres, it's because of juggling the stages. Sometimes it's a little bit of a challenge on the VDLP. You have to perhaps have a short day now and get on again on a very long day. I...

Day 22 - La Calzada to Fuenterroble.  Just 20 kms today. Fuenterroble is well known for the Donativo albergue run by Father Don Blas. So that was going to be an interesting end today. I was looking forward to seeing it. It was a pre-dawn start again because the...

Day 23 - Fuenterroble to San Pedro. A long day, 28 kms and over a mountain! It was a fairly early start today out of Fuenterroble. Initially on the road, but after that some wonderful tracks. A long section with a very slight rise going up on an old Roman road that...

VDLP Day 24 - San Pedro to Salamanca - VdlP Camino Blog & Video So today wasn't an overly long day (23.6 kilometres), but circumstances made it seem very long. To begin with, at the Casa Rural in San Pedro, they assured me that they would have breakfast from 7:30. I...

VDLP Day 25 - Salamanca. A Camino rest day! I absolutely love the center of Salamanca. I'll definitely be back! There’s a wonderful plaza mayor, with cafes all around the plaza. You could really spend your whole time just sitting there, but of course I did a bit of...

VdlP Day 26 - Salamanca to Calzada de Valdunciel. A fairly short day from Salamanca to Calzada de Valdunciel, just 16 kms. It was that or 36 kms. Nothing particularly remarkable, nice countryside, an open sort of landscape with fields and a couple of small villages on...

VDLP Day 27 - Calzada de Valdunciel to El Cubo. 20.7 kms today. Well, a lot of people report that this particular day or 'section' is not a great one. I didn't mind it actually. It was a great walking surface all day. Okay, it was very close to a motorway, the N-630...

VDLP Day 28 - El Cubo to Villanueva de Campean This was a short day of just over 13 kilometres from El Cubo to Villanueva de Campean. The reason being it was one of those long stages again to go from El Cubo to Zamora, it would be almost 32 kilometres. That's a little...

VDLP Day 29 - Villanueva de Campean to Zamora A short day of just over 18 kilometres from Villanueva de Campean to Zamora. In Zamora I will have another rest day because it seems like a nice place to spend some time. It was a good days walk. There was a little bit of...
