From Salamanca to El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino

Today we face a rather long stage if we reach the Cubo de la Tierra del Vino, but we can divide it into two if our bodies require it, as we will find the town of Calzada de Valdunciel right in the middle of the stage, about 15 km from Salamanca. We begin today by walking along a gravel path until we reach El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino, in the province of Zamora.

We begin the stage from the main square of Salamanca heading towards the Helmántico Stadium, to exit towards the A-62 and continue along the N-630 until El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino. We follow a path to Aldeaseca de la Armuña, cross the village, and cross the A-66 via an underpass to continue to Castellanos de Villiquera.

From here, we continue along a dirt track to Calzada de Valdunciel, the midpoint of the stage. We head north to Ribera de Cañedo, cross the river, and advance to Topas Prison. From there, we continue on asphalt until we enter Zamora and return to the N-630, which takes us back to El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino.

Things to consider

Long and monotonous stage in its second part, with no services from Calzada de Valdunciel. It is recommended to consider staying overnight there if departing from Salamanca.
