Walking Guide to the Via de la Plata and the Camino Sanabres: Second Edition

Unveiling the Via de la Plata: A Historical Odyssey

The Via de la Plata, an ancient Roman road, stretches over 1,000 kilometers from Seville in the south to Astorga in the north. Along this historical path, you will witness the remnants of Roman ruins, Moorish fortresses, and medieval villages, each offering a glimpse into Spain's rich and diverse past.

As you traverse the Via de la Plata, you will encounter charming towns like Mérida, with its Roman amphitheater and aqueduct, and Salamanca, renowned for its prestigious university. The trail also takes you through the tranquil Extremadura countryside, where rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards create a picturesque backdrop for your pilgrimage.

Exploring the Camino Sanabres: A Hidden Gem

Diverging from the Via de la Plata, the Camino Sanabres offers a more secluded and contemplative experience. This lesser-known path traverses the rugged Sanabria Mountains, revealing breathtaking landscapes and unspoiled villages.

As you ascend the mountain passes, you will be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. You will also encounter ancient monasteries, charming churches, and the fabled "Laguna de los Peces," a crystal-clear lake said to possess healing properties.
