This pilgrimage on the Via de la Plata already begins at the southernmost point of the Spanish mainland: in Tarifa. Through Andalusia to Seville, through Extremadura via Merida to Salamanca, and from Zamora through the mountains of Galicia via Ourense, this hiking trip follows pilgrimage paths to Santiago de Compostela and further to Fisterra. A magnificent hike through diverse landscapes of Spain!
