Valdesalor
Via de la Plata
Valdesalor is the last stop before Caceres, and it's a small one. The albergue is one of the first buildings in town; instructions for getting the key are posted on the door -- typically available at the ayuntamiento or the Hogar del Pensionista. A couple of bars and a small shop cover the basics. Early morning coffee is available at the Repsol gas station when leaving town, which is useful since the bars may not be open at pilgrim hours.
From here it's roughly 12 km to the centre of Caceres, an easy half-day that makes Valdesalor a good option if you want to arrive in the city with energy to spare for sightseeing.
The camino leaves town along the N-630 for a short distance. At the Repsol gas station, it turns towards the right to cross over the motorway. It climbs gently to the Puerto de las Camellas (4.9 km). The path is soft until the suburbs of Caceres begin.
The camino enters the old town of Caceres from the east.
