RUTA DE LA PLATA
Overloaded with history and under visited by walkers. This is the quiet Camino de Santiago, also an important trade and military route brought up to spec by the Romans.
Nowadays a few Roman milestones stand guard over the ‘Silver Road’ which also takes in monasteries, Templar castles and hot spring fed baths. Starting just south of the medieval city of Orense, our path winds through oak woodlands, vineyards and rolling farming land right up to the back door of Santiago.
The final free day here is yours to explore this stunning World Heritage Site, and a professional local guide will take you round the main historic buildings and sites.
Package includes 8 days guided walking, all luggage transfers, 10 nights HB accommodation (wine inc.) Free airport transfers.
