Cebreros → Ávila

Stage information

Difficulty: challenging. Difficulty recorded in the catalogue.

From Cebreros the path climbs about 250 metres in under two kilometres to the Puerto de Arrebatacapas, following a medieval stone track and a stretch of Roman causeway. It passes San Bartolomé de Pinares, with its fifteenth century fountain and ornate church, and El Herradón de Pinares, where a restored medieval bridge crosses the Arroyo Gaznata. The stage ends at Ávila, entering the walled city past the church of Santiago, rich in imagery of Saint James.
