Stage Description

This is one of the longest and most demanding stages of the Via de la Plata, a journey that crosses a solitary and beautiful landscape. The route leaves Mérida by passing alongside the Aqueduct of the Miracles and enters the Extremaduran heathland. The path runs through the Cornalvo Natural Park, a protected area of great ecological value. The stage is very long and has few intermediate services, which requires self-sufficiency and good planning. The profile is undulating. The destination is Alcuéscar, a village that offers well-deserved rest and the opportunity to visit the Visigothic basilica of Santa Lucía del Trampal, an architectural jewel unique.
