Stage 6. Fuente de Cantos – Zafra (24.2 km)

Information

Today we will embark on a stage very similar to the previous one, only a bit more populated. From Fuente de Cantos, we will cross the nearly 25 kilometers of dehesas and agricultural fields of Extremadura that cover the stage, to end in the town of Zafra.

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 Route from Seville to Mérida.

A comfortable stage among crop fields and cattle farms, ideal for walking at a good pace and letting your mind wander. You leave Fuente de Cantos by the Plaza de la Constitución and soon join a stretch of old Roman road towards Calzadilla de los Barros. After a break in Puebla de Sancho Pérez, four kilometres remain to Zafra and its collegiate church of La Candelaria.
