Find the bibloteca (library). This one in Casar de Cáceres. They usually let you use their machine for free. May not be applicable for Camino Frances. Tried it in Camino Primitivo and now in Camino via de la Plata.

Nothing much in this town other than a stop before 35 km tomorrow with no towns in between. The albergue is nice with a small kitchen, but I am too lazy to do anything other than make tea.

Many tall towers built from the gold brought back from the New World by the conquistadors, many of them comes from this region. The towers looks very similar to some of the cities in Tuscany.

Ayuntamiento. A small meeting room to sleep in is on the second floor where the washed clothes are hanged outside. The 3rd floor is the library, where I am posting this from the free internet (also open wireless lan connection).

Quaint little town 12 km before Cáceres. Sleeping in a meeting room at Ayuntamiento close to the white tower. Hot showers but limited space (4 mattress).

A Roman mile is around 1,480 meters. They used to be all along the via de la Plata. Not many are left now.

Stayed at the monastery that also caters to the disabled. Donativo (donation based) which includes a hefty dinner. Please donate if you stay here to keep the tradition. Long day after walking 38 km.

Aqueduct upon leaving the city the next morning. Really fell in love with this place. So many more pictures I took of this place.
