Day 1 -- Guillena (22 km)
Day 2 -- Castilblanco de los Arroyos (17 km)
Day 3 -- Almaden (29 km)- Easy to shorten by taking taxi for first 16 km to park entrance.
Day 4 -- Real de la Jara (15 km) or another 7 km to "Hotel Leo" (referred to as "hotel/restaurante") or additional 3 km to "Camping Tentudia" where they rent out bungalows to pilgrims for 12 Euros per bed/night.
Day 5 -- Monesterio (18 km)
Day 6 -- Fuente de Cantos (22 km)
If you walk to Camping Tentudia on day 4, it is 27 km to Fuente de Cantos on day 5.
Day 6/7 -- Zafra (25 km)
Day 8 -- Villafranca de los Barros (20 km)
Day 9 -- Torremejia (28 km)- You can go off camino to Almendralejo, making 2 shorter days.
Day 10 -- Merida (16 km)
Day 11 -- Aljucen (17 km)
I walked Torremejía-El Carescallejo (29 km) instead, adding another 3 km the next day.
The section Torremejía-Mérida is not so nice, I think of skipping it by bus next time.
Day 12 -- Alcuescar (21 km)
Day 13 -- Caceres (38 km)- You can stop after 27 km, in Valdesalor, 11 km before Caceres, or even Aldea del Cano (after 16 km).
I stopped at Valdesalor and the next day I continued to Casar de Cáceres, having a longer break at Cáceres and doing some sight-seeing there.
Day 14 -- Casar de Caceres (11 km) mostly boring road-walking, also possible to go by bus.
Day 15 -- Canaveral (33 km)- Now the albergue is open at Embalse de Alcantara, 21 km after Casar.
Phone the albergue at the Embalse in Advance, because it is sometimes closed. If you hear it is closed you may try your luck at the hostel "Pesca Evasion". If that is closed too, you can take a shortcut of approximately 2 km to Canaveral if you do not follow the yellow arrows but the marks of a "sendero local".
Day 16 -- Galisteo (38 km)- You can go via Riolobos and make 2 days.
You can also go to Grimaldo (the turn-off is clearly marked) after 20 km and then to Galisteo or Carcaboso (not difficult, but boring road-walking - this certainly does not deserve a separate day!)
Day 17 -- Carcaboso (11 km)
Day 18 -- Oliva de Plasencia (25 km)- Or arrange pickup at Ventaquemada for Oliva, or at Caparra for Hostal Asturias.
Carcaboso - Caparra is 20 km. If you walk to Hostal Asturias this adds another 10 km. The next morning you can return to the original way (2,5 km to the turn-off) or follow an alternative Route to Aldeanueva, which is marked with blue arrows. As Aldeanueva del Camino to Banos the Montemayor is entirely on the shoulder of the busy N 631, it is also worth exploring, if you can switch to the "Via Verde" via Hervas to Puerto de Bejár (the old Railway-line Plasencia-Bejár now dedicated to cyclists and walkers).
In 2008 I stayed at Olvia de Plasencia, this time at Hostal Asturias. In my opinion Hostal Asturias is the better Option, because the distance to OdP from the turn-off at Ventaquemada is the same as from Ventaquemada to Caparra.
Day 19 -- Banos de Montemayor (36 km)- There are several ways to break this up including Hostal Asturias, Aldeanueva, Hervas.
Day 20 -- Fuenterroble (33km) - 30 km from Puerto de Bejár. There are options to stop before here e.g. Valverde de Valedlacasa.
Day 21 -- San Pedro (28 km)
Day 22 -- Salamanca (24 km)
Day 23 -- Calzada deValdunciel (15 km) and another 8 km to Casa Saso or 20 km to El Cubo, then 13 km to Villanueva de Campeán, from there 19 km to Zamora.
Day 24 -- Villanueva del Campean (33 km)- You can break in half at El Cubo (36 km from Salamanca) or stop 6 km later at Casa Saso. The Camino between Salamanca and El Cubo is not nice at all. It is possible to go to Calzada de Valdunciel or El Cubo by bus.
Day 25 -- Zamora (19 km)
Day 26 -- Montamarta (19 km) new albergue at Fontanillas del Castro (33 km from Zamora); two albergues at Riego del Camino (another 4 km), thus enabling you to skip
Day 27 -- Granja de Moreruela (22 km)
and walk on to Tabara immediately (then 37 km or 33 km, but mostly flat and easy walking)
