I'd say we were pretty well served on the VdlP. That stretch from Carcaboso to Aldeanueva del Camino is a long one, but it's so beautiful going through those oak woods with the gentle sound of the tinkling of cow bells and the eagles overhead as one approaches the arch, that I could wish it went on even longer. And I'm told the place at Oliva de Plasencia is very nice if you don't want to do a 40km day.
Other places where the day was a bit longer than I liked were Alcuescar to Cáceres, but Valdesalor looked a bit of a dump and Cáceres is so magnificent even arriving tired at dusk that it would have been foolish not to make the little bit of extra effort to spend the night there.
Casar de Cáceres to Grimaldo was a bit of a long one too - there was a closed down hotel at the Puerto de los Castaños 3-5km short of Grimaldo which I would probably have stayed in had it been open - but the albergue in Grimaldo was nice (as were the people and the food in the bar next door), and the next day on to Carcaboso would have just been that much longer. One problem I had on that day was lack of water (ironically, as much of the day is spent within sight of one of the largest bodies of fresh water in Europe), as I detoured Cañaveral, so I ran out (the only time in 35 days), but you could probably top up at Alcantara albergue now (it was closed when I went past).
