We leave Aldeanueva by the road to Baños de Montemayor, where we enter through the hermitage of El Humilladero. The town has its origins in the famous, curative thermal baths, the remains of which date back to Roman times. The many bars and shops in the village serve as provisions for pilgrims.
We leave the reconstructed road to a fountain, and further on to a Roman sewer. At this point we leave the lands of Extremadura and enter Castilla y León, with the town of Puerto Béjar, at an altitude of almost a thousand metres, being the first town we come across. Although we do not pass through it, there are inns along the road.
Next to the Carmen gardens, we pass under the motorway, where the road is represented as it passes through Salamanca. We begin a gentle descent to the bridge of La Malena, over the river Cuerpo de Hombre. Road, road and river share space for a few kilometres just before Calzada de Béjar. We enter through the main street, which is also a causeway. Here, the 21st century pilgrim can find everything he or she needs, who will think they have travelled back in time, strolling through its medieval architecture or under its well-preserved arcades.
