[QUOTE="C clearly, post: 682192, member: 1589"] I am copying below a response I made on an old thread, which addresses all of those sections. The VDLP is still quite do-able for people like me who prefer not to walk more than 25 km/day. The problem is that it is not always possible to select the exact number of km you want to walk. Sometimes you need to pick a shorter day than you really need, in order to manage the following day(s). Of course, if you want shorter days, you need more days! It is helpful if you speak Spanish, enjoy a logistic challenge or two, and are somewhat flexible in your approach. It would be rather difficult to plan every day and accommodation weeks in advance. You need to check some places on the day before, in order to avoid getting stuck somewhere. Day 1 -- Guillena (22 km) Day 2 -- Castilblanco (17 km) Day 3 -- Almaden (29 km)- [I]Easy to shorten by taking taxi for first 16 km to park entrance.[/I] Day 4 -- Real de la Jara (16 km) Day 5 -- Monesterio (18 km) Day 6 -- Fuente de Cantos (22 km) Day 7 -- Zafra (25 km) Day 8 -- Villafranca de los Barros (20 km) Day 9 -- Torremejia (28 km)- [I]You can go off camino to Almendralejo, making 2 shorter days.[/I] Day 10 -- Merida (16 km) Day 11 -- Aljucen (17 km) Day 12 -- Alcuescar (21 km) Day 13 -- Caceres (38 km)- [I]You can stop after 27 km, in Valdesalor, 11 km before Caceres, or even Aldea del Cano.[/I] Day 14 -- Casar de Caceres (11 km) Day 15 -- Canaveral (33 km)- [I]Now the albergue is open at Embalse de Alcantara, 21 km after Casar.[/I] Day 16 -- Galisteo (28 km)- [I]You can go via Riolobos and make 2 days.[/I] Day 17 -- Carcaboso (11 km) Day 18 -- Oliva de Plasencia (25 km)- [I]Or arrange pickup at Ventaquemada for Oliva, or at Caparra for Hostal Asturias.[/I] Day 19 -- Banos de Montemayor (36 km)- [I]There are several ways to break this up including Hostal Asturias, Aldeanueva, Hervas.[/I] Day 20 -- Fuenterroble (33km)- [I]There are options to stop before here e.g. Valverde de Valedlacasa.[/I] Day 21 -- San Pedro (28 km) Day 22 -- Salamanca (24 km) Day 23 -- Valdunciel (15 km) Day 24 -- Villanueva del Campean (33 km)- [I]You can break in half at El Cubo or stop 6 km later at Casa Saso.[/I] Day 25 -- Zamora (18 km) Day 26 -- Montamarta (19 km) Day 27 -- Granja de Moreruela (22 km) After Granja, I went north to Astorga because of time limitations, so I can't help with the stages on the Camino Sanabres.
