Since old times human being needed to move constantly
Ancient civilisations were based on long routes
Roman Empire built an extended wire of roads along the whole Hispania ...
... which were used afterwards during the Middle Age
One of the most significant roads went from the South to the North
Today is known as "La Via de la Plata"
The old city of Cáceres was stated World´s Heritage in 1986
Is one of the better preserved urban complex in the world
His narrow streets, houses and palaces just make us recall the medieval atmosphere
This miniature shows the feature of the old city
This is not a film but the old city is often used in TV series and movies
We have to go and start our way. Our first stage drives us towards Alcántara Reservoir
( Alcántara Reservoir)
The lodge is a well placed building with a beatiful view over the reservoir.
Our next step is going towards Cañaveral to go on to Grimaldo
Some Alcornoque groves show the work of termites into the wood slumps
They transform wood in organic powder which fertilizes the ground
Grimaldo Castle was first built by the romans ...
... and after owned by Grimaldo, a son of Pipino, King of francs ( VIII century )
Finally it was renewed by the Catholic Kings ( XV century)
Bejar Range rises over the skyline covered in snow
Walking towards Galisteo, a big mistake misleads us to a ranch
The rancher leads us to an alternative path which goes around ...
... towards a village called: "Rio Lobos"
The next stage is one of the longest of the way
We walk for a day without crossing any village nor place for provisioning
Spring is too wet this year so we have to cross streams everywhere
The ancient roman road drives us to the Caparra Arch
This site was a military place in Roman Empire times.
We go on wading across rivers and streams ...
... meanwhile nigth is coming
