Stage
Alcuéscar → Cáceres
Ease of walking: Generally easy to moderate: a mix of paved village roads and minor country tracks with limited gradients.
The stage from Alcuéscar to Cáceres is a relatively short approach into a major urban and historical centre, bringing pilgrims from quiet village lanes onto paved roads and into the medieval gates of Cáceres. It is an ideal day to rest, resupply and explore the city's monuments after a rural walk.
Scenery
