Stage Description

This stage begins with the crossing of the Tajo River, although not through the famous Roman bridge of Alcántara, but rather by the modern dam of the reservoir. After crossing the river, the path once again enters the extremeña heathland, in a terrain of continuous undulations. It is a day of great beauty that passes through cattle farms and a landscape of great solitude. The final route ends in the small village of Grimaldo, a haven of peace that offers an authentic and rural rest for the pilgrim. It's a stage to enjoy nature and the tranquility of deepest Extremadura.
