Stage Description

Leaving behind the monumental Cáceres, this long and solitary stage ventures into the heart of the Extremaduran heathland. The road follows the ancient Roman route, passing by the famous milestone of the Via Plata. It is a journey of great scenic beauty but very demanding due to distance and lack of services. The pilgrim must be self-sufficient. The route ends in the vicinity of the impressive Alcántara Dam, an immense freshwater lake that transforms the landscape. The end of stage is usually some rural accommodation near the dam.
