Dehesa, Miranda de Azán and the Tormes

A stage that carries you from the Salamanca dehesa into the city: 23.7 kilometres with 180 metres of ascent and 330 of descent, moderate difficulty more for the length and the lack of shade than for the terrain. You leave San Pedro de Rozados on dirt tracks among holm oaks and stock farms, and after a few kilometres pass through Morille, the only village with anything open in the first half.

The route then crosses open, rolling country, with long stretches of track between crops and thinning dehesa. Miranda de Azán comes just past the halfway point and is the last possible halt before the city. On the way out of the village you climb to a rise from which Salamanca appears for the first time, with the towers of its cathedrals beyond; from there it is a gentle descent to the valley of the Tormes.

The entrance is among the finest on the whole Vía de la Plata: you cross the river by the Roman bridge, with the cathedral above, and climb through the streets of the old town to the Plaza Mayor. Salamanca is a big city with anything you might need, and it deserves to be reached in daylight and with time to walk it.

Tips

Set off early: there is little shade and in summer the sun beats down from mid-morning on the open track.

Fill your bottle in Morille and again in Miranda de Azán; between villages there is nowhere.

Stamp your departure in San Pedro, along the way in Morille or Miranda de Azán, and your arrival at the cathedral or the hostel in Salamanca.

If you are going to take a rest day, Salamanca is the place: the Plaza Mayor, the two cathedrals and the university can all be seen in an afternoon.

Buy whatever you need in Salamanca: the villages ahead have little in the way of shops.

Walk with me

It crosses where you are with the time, the daylight left, the water, the beds and the notice board. Three things at most: the ones that actually change your afternoon.

Create the free account It is free and forever. An account is needed for the guide to place you. I already have an account

It checks GPS every 6 min while you keep it open. GPS drains the battery: if yours is low, switch it off.

Your position is used to answer you and is not stored anywhere.
