Day 16 - Valdesalor to Casar de Caceres. Today I didn't expect to be too hard a day, it was about 22 kilometres, although the weather in the afternoons is still quite hot. Hopefully, as we get further north, it will start to cool a bit. The first bit then to Caceres...
Day 17 - Casar de Caceres to Grimaldo. Now, this day was always going to be a bit of a challenge because the idea has been to walk from Casar de Caceres past the embalse, the big reservoir, up to a casa rural. But that is about a 33.8 kilometer day, which is a little...
Day 18 - Grimaldo to Galisteo. Because of the heat of the day we had a pre dawn start from Grimaldo. It was going to be about a 20 kilometre day to Galisteo. The owner of the Casa Rural where we stayed the night before gave us some very good information about the...
Day 19 - Galisteo to Jarilla. Today was yet another great day on the camino. It was a day where there were a few challenges and a few options. On this section walking between Galisteo and basically Aldeanueva del Camino we have a few challenges because it's a long...
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...
