Faramontanos de Tábara
Via de la Plata
Camino Sanabrés
Faramontanos sits at the edge of the Sierra de la Culebra, a mountain range that runs west toward Portugal and is home to the densest population of Iberian wolves in Western Europe. You won't see them, but it's good to know they're out there.
The village has a bar, a small shop, and a pharmacy. A private pilgrim hospitality called La Casa Azul y Amarilla offers beds donativo-style -- contact ahead to confirm availability, as it's a private home with only five beds. There are a few houses offering rural accommodation as well.
After 18 km of nothing since Granja, this is your first chance to sit down with a coffee. The Iglesia de San Martin is worth a look if it's open.
The camino to Tabara crosses over the AVE railway development. From this point you can see Tabara in the distance, but note that the camino does not enter Tabara directly. If you plan on stopping there, aim for the church towers.
