Morille is the last town before Salamanca, situated at a crossroads of cattle tracks and old drove roads. A small municipal albergue (6 beds, advance booking required) and a bar. From here it's about 18 km to the centre of Salamanca, with the only services available at Miranda de Azan (bar, 300 m off the camino, 10 km out).

The Road

10 km from Morille the camino passes near the village of Miranda de Azan (bar), about 300 m off the trail. It's the only stop between here and the suburbs of Salamanca, so take it if you need it.

As you near the city you'll cross under two motorways; the second marks the entrance to the developed suburbs. The camino reaches a roundabout and continues straight through it to enter a park with a pedestrian trail. It follows a small stream and avoids the paved roads until just after passing under a railway bridge. At the road, turn right and continue straight toward the Rio Tormes (18.7 km from Morille) and across it via the Puente Romano. The path then threads through the heart of Salamanca.

Belle auberge tenue par José Maria. Il y a du chauffage, de l'eau chaude, la wifi et de quoi cuisiner. Tout est très propre.

Having previously walked the main route(yellow dots) I today walked the alternative route as it was a wet miserable day and I wanted to stay off high ground. The main route climbs high and has wonderful panoramic views if the weather is good. The alternative route is mostly on quiet (in November) secondary roads not motorway as previously stated but apart from being slightly shorter hasn’t anything else in its favour. And yes the pig farm smells just as disgusting at this time of year! K

Camino de Sant…

I would advise to everyone to just take the original route from Fuenterroble to Morille, it maybe a bit longer but I’m sure it is much more pleasant.
On the detour there was a time (out of Pedrosillo) when I had to trespass on someone’s property because the map showed me that way (and there were no other way). Also between Pedrosillo and Monterrubio there is a pig slaughter house next to the way. You can hear them crying and also the smell… there are containers next the the road as well with dead pigs in it. From Pedrosillo to Morille all the camino way is on a motorway where the cars are coming from both ways. Overall it is a horrible experience from Pedrosillo to Morille.

Camino de Sant…

The municipal hostal is open, but it was not easy to find, it was not where the map shows it. It is near the Plaza de la Constitucion, by the stream. You get the key and pay at Bar Marcos, which is close by.
