Branches and variants

Here the Camino splits. Choose your route.

Variant Via de la Plata

It splits off from the main route at Granja de Moreruela.

The historic Vía de la Plata does not end at Granja de Moreruela: it continues north through Benavente, Alija del Infantado and La Bañeza to Astorga, where it meets the Camino Francés. This is how the Spanish Federation of Camino de Santiago Associations lists the full route: "Sevilla-Mérida-Cáceres-Salamanca-Zamora-Astorga." It runs 94.3 km over 4 stages from the Granja de Moreruela fork — the oldest continuation of the Vía, as opposed to the Camino Sanabrés, which heads straight to Santiago from the same point.
