Stage
Embalse de Alcántara → Grimaldo
Ease of walking: Moderate: mostly unpaved rural tracks with some short rises and stretches without shade.
From the reservoir the path climbs back onto plateau and dehesa, bringing pilgrims through cork oak pastures and small hamlets to the village of Grimaldo. This stage is rural and quieter, with fewer services and a sense of wide open Extremaduran countryside.
Scenery
Dehesa landscapes of cork and holm oak, agricultural fields, and traditional stone walls and farmsteads.
Points of interest along the way
- • Grimaldo parish church and village plaza
- • Scenic dehesa paths and viewpoints over farmland
Water along the Camino
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.
