Stage
Ease of walking: Easy to moderate: largely flat or gently undulating tracks and quiet country lanes.
The stage into Carcaboso is a relatively straightforward transit across agricultural plains and back roads, finishing in a small town with services and a parish church. It is a convenient day for resupply before continuing the Vía de la Plata.
Open farmland, olive groves and occasional patches of dehesa with views toward low hills on the horizon.
Pilgrims will find drinking water fountains (fuentes), public taps and springs in most villages and at points along the way. In summer and on remote stretches, carry enough water between stops as gaps can be long.
