Apr-May 2019
My sister and I, (70yo and 67yo at the time), began the VdlP in October 2020 however after arriving at Casar de Caceres and being informed of the closure of the Albergue at Embalse de Alcantara and no accommodation in Casar that night, we returned to Caceres and caught a train to Canaveral the next morning and continued our camino from there. The same thing happened later in our camino but that's another story (and another thread for more assistance!) We are returning in May this year to walk all those parts missed in order to fully complete our Camino. We are going to bite the bullet and walk the 34 kms from Casar to Canaveral. Our difficulty is getting from Canaveral to Granja de Moreuela on public transport probably via Salamanca and Zamora.
I believe there is an 'ALSA' bus from Caceres to Salamanca that passes (stops?) through Canaveral , and also the train from Caceres to Salamanca stops at Canaveral.
Has anyone out there caught any of this transport in the past? If they exist can you buy a ticket directly on the train or the bus, or do you have to buy at the main stations? We're not great with buying online with phones so would prefer not to do this. I'm sure that a direct transport between my start and finish points will not exist and we are content in having 2 or 3 different stages to get this done.
I emailed ALSA with my dilemma but got absolutely no help at all other than that they didn't do that route! Any infomation would be gratefully received.
