Silver Route from Salamanca to Puebla de Sanabria

The route of this stage is quite long and there are areas with no services. For these reasons we can consider dividing this stage in two, spending the night in Calzada de Valdunciel.

We start this first stage of our Vía de la Plata leaving the beautiful city of Salamanca towards Aldeaseca de la Armuña, to continue towards Castellanos de Villiquera. Walking among paths and dirt tracks you will reach Calzada de Valdunciel, from where you will have 20 kilometres to go to El Cubo del Vino. This last part of the stage is the most complicated, as there are no services or towns until you reach the end, so we recommend that you prepare yourself well before setting off.

El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino, is a small village that owes its name to its wine tradition, and its large extensions of vineyards. Unfortunately these spaces were destroyed by a plague and nowadays only small redoubts and a multitude of cellars are preserved underground. Here you can visit its transept and the church of Santo Dominfo de Gurzmán. Of course, they have a rich gastronomy based on lamb, pork and sausages, which you should try accompanied by one of their rich wines from Toro or De Tierra de Vino.
