Stage 16. Aldeanueva del Camino – La Calzada de Béjar (21.8 km)

Information

Compared to yesterday's stage, today's will seem like a complete rest when measuring the distances, and we will be able to let ourselves go a little more. Today we will begin our stage in Extremadura, departing from Aldeanueva del Camino, and we will finish by entering the territories of Castilla y León, specifically in the town of Calzada de Béjar. Along the way, we will enjoy some villages that are heavily marked by the identity of the ancient Roman Empire.

This stage is part of the Silver Route. Would you like to walk it with your accommodation already booked? These organised trips include it: Silver Way from Mérida to Salamanca.

A short stage with a demanding touch. You skirt the Baños reservoir and reach Baños de Montemayor, which owes its name to its Roman baths. On the way out the best of the day awaits: a stretch of cobbled Roman road that climbs to the Béjar pass and leaves you in Castilla y León. Then oak and holm-oak woods, the Roman bridge of La Malena and one of the best preserved milestones on the route.
