Silver Route I
Cultural - 7 nights
The Via de la Plata or Ruta de la Plata (Silver Route) is a natural route which has linked the Bay of Biscay with the Atlantic coast of Andalusia since ancient times. The Romans built a road along it, which they used to transport the precious metal, laying the foundations for a great legacy that will take you on a tour through history.
