Ruta De La Plata

Post by Blue Wheeler »

Just spent the last 3 days cycling from Seville to Caceras. Bit of a brutal journey if I'm honest as I should have allowed more time. Met some guys along the way who were riding from Salamanca to Zafra (North to South) which from the sound of it is a far better choice. I've recorded a video blog along the way so when I get home I'll pop a link on.

Hi Bluewheeler. Joe and I did the Ruta via de la Plata this April. I couldn't see much to recognise in your video but maybe I didn't look hard enough!

Probably a combination of the off road gpx files and getting lost! :roll:
I didn't manage the whole section as I ran out of time.

Where did you get the gpx file from? Living in Spain means I use wikiloc extensively for finding off road routes and have found it a superb resource. All of the long distance routes are contained there such as the various Caminos de Santiago, Camino del Cid, Camino del Rio Tajo, Transpirineos, GR247, etc. I suppose the written route descriptions can be difficult if your Spanish is poor but google translate is your friend but there's usually a few photos to give you an idea of what to expect.
