James, I think you have misread your map. The A66 is an autovia, and it definitely doesn’t go to Tabara! So, we’re talking about the N632, I believe. I have taken that route once, on my bike. I found it to be a very busy highway, with a lot of fast-moving truck traffic. Not at all pleasant. And furthermore, I’m not aware of any track alongside it. The VdlP route from Granja, on the other hand, although much further,has a lot to recommend it.I’m in Salamanca planning the next few days on the VDLP. Looking to take the alternative route from Montamarta to Tabara on A66. Any +/- feedback on this route from those who have taken this path.
I’m amazed that you found it quiet. It occurred to me that all the trucks were making a short-cut to the autovia heading west.Good road surface. Quiet most of the time. Long straight stretches. Accommodation is the issue. Stopped at a Posdada Rural in Ferreras de Abajo but there is only one bar there.
I have to agree with Pelegrinopaul. Quite a busy road wirh many trucks ( at least when i cycled it ) and not enjoyable at all . On some stretches there was a narrow path worn in the grass verges by i assume walkers .I’m amazed that you found it quiet. It occurred to me that all the trucks were making a short-cut to the autovia heading west.
