We are going to Salamanca soon. We would like to walk for a few days but would need to return after 12 days from day of arrival. I counted for two days to visit Salamanca. Looking at the days, we would finish in Mombuey when it would be time for us to go back to Madrid, which is a bit well... middle of nowhere. Puebla Sanabria has a train back to Madrid I believe, but we would need to take a bus there or a taxi.
On the other hand, the same amount of time would take us straight to Astorga but I don't know how nice the route is to go there. From Granja, I felt the Sanabres was beautiful (at least in the spring), how is the route to Astorga? We have done the Frances a few times so we are familiar with the city, so Astorga itself is not a selling point. But it being a bigger city with better public transportation is...
Let me know what you think please.
