Stage Description
Transition stage from the Sierra de Aracena to the region of Tentudía, in the province of Badajoz. The 30 km cross the border between Andalusia and Extremadura along traditional paths between pastures and cereal fields. Valencia del Ventoso is a small town in Badajoz with a historic center linked to the Order of Santiago and the Maestrazgo. A stage of great solitude.
The stage that connects La Font de la Figuera with Almansa is a journey that takes the pilgrim from the province of Valencia to Albacete. The profile is a gentle but constant ascent, which rises to the Castilian tableland. The landscape is austere in beauty, with extensive fields of grain and vineyards. Arrival at Almansa is impressive. The city is dominated by its spectacular Moorish castle, perched on a rock in the plain. It is one of Spain's most photogenic castles. In addition to the castle, Almansa has an interesting heritage, such as the Palace of the Counts of Cirat. It is a monumental stop and an excellent final stage.
