The Vía de la Plata is an ancient Roman road that connected the cities of Béjar and Plasencia. This trail is part of a country-wide network of greenways created by repurposing former railway lines that have fallen into disuse. The Vía Verde de la Plata is one of the longest and best known trails in the network, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy the natural and cultural heritage of the two regions.

The route is approximately 74 kilometres long, making it an ideal option for hikers and bikers of all expertise levels.
