In September 2021 and May 2022, I walked the Spanish Camino de Santiago de Levante. It runs 820 kilometres from Valencia on the Mediterranean to Zamora near the Portuguese border. From Zamora, you can first follow the Via de la Plata, and then the Camino Francés or the Camino Sanabrés to Santiago de Compostela.
The 30th stage of this Camino is 32 kilometres long and leads from Siete Iglesias de Trabancos to Toro. After an improvised breakfast in the small pilgrims' hostel in Siete Iglesias, we set off for Toro. In Castronuño we make a small, worthwhile diversions up to the Iglesia de Santa María del Castillo, on a panoramic terrace high above the Río Duero, which has been dammed here to form a reservoir. The next town we pass is Villafranca de Duero. Once again there is nothing to eat here, but we are lucky: while resting on a bench, a bakery van stops opposite. Shortly before today's destination, we cross the Duero over an 800-year-old stone bridge. Toro is situated on a plateau 100 metres above the Duero, and offers a magnificent view over the river plain.
Our accommodation in Toro:
Hotel Alda Ciudad de Toro, 68 euros for a double room (2022).
