Practical tips
Carry water for the middle of the day: little shade, strong sun in summer and cold in winter. At Tardajos, do not take the Vía Aquitania by mistake. Hontanas is 10.5 km further if you want a longer day.
Along the way
Tardajos and Rabé de las Calzadas
Small villages on the edge of the plateau; Rabé has a tiny chapel where pilgrims are given a blessing.
