This day is mostly about perseverance. It is a long stage of more than 36 kilometres, and the elevation gain is modest. Distance is what counts. If you want to split it, stay overnight in Calzada de Valdunciel.
You leave Salamanca behind you and walk out into open country. It is wide, quiet and a little monotonous. That is exactly where its strength lies: you settle into a rhythm and the kilometres melt away. After more than nine hours of walking, you arrive in El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino, where a public pilgrim albergue is waiting for you. Eat regularly along the way and save some energy for the final stretch. Step by step, you’ll get there.
