Route options; going left at Ávila, Spain

[ward4e]

The camino itch is real. I didn't think it would strike again so early. I got a full 3 years last time before I HAD to go back. However here I am planning another long distance hike. Like always way way to early.

Looking on way marked trails at the route, I can see where I can peel off to hit Zamora and then go the Sanabres but does anyone ever peel off a little earlier to go to Salamanca? Teh distance between is about 100km so 4-ish days.




I have made it up as I go along using booking.com but I would like to hear if anyone has been that gap and if so how did it go?

Cheers.

North of Avila there is Ruta Teresiana which takes you to close to Salamanca at Alba de Tormes. May be easier to follow that route (signs/accomodation etc)

... and from Alba de Tormes to Salamanca there is a "vía verde" , somo 20 km.
