Four kids and I will be walking the Via de la Plata in May/June.
For one section (Merida to Salamanca) my husband, father-in-law and brother-in-law will be joining us. Due to their time constraints (and probably lack-of-ability-to-go-a-long-way-on-one-day constraints) we intend to most probably take a bus from Caceres to Banos de Montemayor.
When they all leave from Salamanca I am thinking of getting a bus back to Caceres and walking the bit we skipped.
An alternative is to walk on from Salamanca, knowing we have missed a portion and then to continue out to Muxia (we have already walked to Fisterra and back once).
Of course, a third option is to simply walk shorter days or have a few days in Santiago at the end.
I know we will wait and see how things go at the time, but I am wondering if anyone has any observations or experiences that might sway our decision.
