    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino del Norte - Border Crossing

    Via de la Plata in reverse (Gijón to Cádiz)

    Hi everyone! A friend wants to walk from Leon down to Zamora direct without going via Astorga. Does anyone know if there is a good walking route for this? It would be to save time instead of going via Astorga which will add a few extra days on his trip. Thanks!
