One popular route for local tourism in this area is along the Via de la Plata, or the Silver Route. It began as a Roman road that linked Valencia and Astorga and was later used by the Christian pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela. Churches with Romanesque and Mudejar architecture, the dehesas (the indigenous forests of Spain) which provide the basis for dry-cured jamon Iberico de bellota, the world-famous ham of Spain, and medieval constructions are some points of interest on this tour.
This new form of tourism is becoming increasingly popular in Spain because it makes it possible to enjoy nature and the sights as well as relax, with excellent service and extremely affordable prices for everyone.
