The San Lázaro Bridge is one of the historic bridges that cross the Jerte River in the Spanish city of Plasencia, in the province of Cáceres. It dates back to medieval times, although the current bridge was reconstructed in 1538. It connects the neighborhoods of San Lázaro and Río Jerte, and the San Lázaro Chapel is located next to its western end.

The cycle tour continues over the iron bridge over the Ambroz River and traces a sweeping curve through the Balozano meadows. The vast plain of the Ambroz Valley disappears into endless horizons toward Extremadura, an essential symbol of the Vía de la Plata. The route of the old railway crosses the Cordel del Berrocal and resumes its northward course in search of the pastures of Salamanca via the Puerto de Béjar, an ancient gateway for communication, trade, armies, cultures, herds, pilgrims, trains, and travelers of all times. At the Baños de Montemayor station, there is also a rest area and a wonderful fountain, seemingly springing from the depths of the mountains. The route crosses the La Garganta road and passes through an artificially lit tunnel shortly before the Puerto de Béjar station, which also has a bar, terrace, and a railway atmosphere. The climb is over; to Béjar, it's a pleasant walk through the Cantagallo oak groves. The railway had 47 main stations, in addition to secondary stops and sidings. The Puerto de Béjar and Béjar stations were important stops. The train was essential for the textile industry, barrels, chestnuts, and pork products, which were the main resources of the local economy. In Béjar, the train was a fundamental engine for the city's progress. The two most profitable textile factories in the town alone washed eleven tons of wool daily, consuming about five tons of coal, and everything was transported by rail, along with passengers and other goods. The Béjar station is special; it preserves many railway elements that keep alive the memory of another era. Part of the railway workers' houses have been renovated for cultural activities, and there are remains of the platforms, loading docks, systems for pumping water to the locomotives, the switch levers, and a section of the old rails. Just ahead are the remains of the medieval walls, and in the background are the buildings of Béjar. The station is at the entrance, and you need to take a detour to explore the town. In Béjar, you can spend the night; it has all the services available. Depending on your schedule and pace, you can continue on to the next section, Navalmoral de Béjar and Calzada de Béjar. At the beginning of the return route, the towns of Baños de Montemayor and Hervás are also good places to finish the stage.

Stage 1. Plasencia/Béjar 58.7 kilometers. 640 positive meters. In Roman times Plasencia did not exist, it was founded by Alfonso VIII in the 12th century to fortify the border of the Tagus against the Muslim push. Two thousand years ago, the hills that mark the Jerte canyon in the north of Cáceres were camps of the Roman legions to control the passage of the nearby Vía de la Plata through the forts of Carcaboso and Galisteo, the famous Medina Galisyah of Almanzor, which It still preserves one of the best walled enclosures of Almohad origin in Extremadura. The route of the Vía de la Plata Natural Trail officially begins at the Plasencia railway station, where the old railway to Astorga left, it is a good place to park and prepare the equipment. The visit to the historical complex of the city can be done by bicycle, the old town preserves the medieval atmosphere, the streets are narrow and by bike it is easy to get to know the notable monumental legacy of the Pearl of the North, as the people of Placentia call their city. The Plaza Mayor is a must-see, it has stately homes and there is the Town Hall in a 15th century palace, with the popular Abuelo Mayorga hugging the bell tower. Plasencia has two cathedrals, the Old Cathedral is a transition from Romanesque to Gothic, and the New Cathedral is an imposing building with Renaissance and Plateresque facades. The old medieval walls surround the old part of the city, which also had a Jewish quarter and preserves a 300-meter stretch and 55 arches of an ancient aqueduct built in the 16th century to supply drinking water to the population. A good place to leave the medieval complex is through the Berrozana gate, one of the original gates of the walls, crossing the Jerte river on the stone bridge of San Lázaro, shortly after is the roundabout of the Tenerías bridge and on the right the underpass where the Vía de la Plata Natural Trail information panel is located and the beginning of the track. A small hill climbs to the entrance of the San Lázaro tunnel and the gravel journey through the Cáceres pastures of the Ambroz Valley begins. The tunnel is closed at night, it is the first one I have seen on a greenway or natural path with a passage time, it is closed between seven in the afternoon and nine in the morning. In its favor, it has automatic artificial lighting and has a short construction time, such as the following kilometers to La Jarilla. This section was inaugurated in March 2023 and is impeccable. At the exit of the tunnel the urban environment disappears and the path runs through the Jerte River canyon to the Iron Bridge, which has a small viewpoint on one side to contemplate the spectacular granite gorge of the Jerte River and the two bridges, one of which only The pilasters and the restored one for cyclists and walkers remain. The explanation is on a poster with the details and curiosities of the railway track. The road is a constant climb to Puerto de Béjar, about 600 positive meters in 50 kilometers, there are several stretches of false flatness but you cannot stop pedaling. The cycling ride is delicious through hills populated with holm oaks and cork oaks at the foot of the Tras la Sierra Mountains. On the road there are remains of the old stops and next to the old buildings there are benches to take a break. The most important station is Villar de Plasencia, it has the water tank, the platforms, the cargo warehouse and a large space with benches. And it is a key point in the stage because next to it there is a service station on the N-630 with a bar and restaurant, the only supply point on the road to Hervás. The route continues through the pastures of Casas del Monte, which also has a “station neighborhood”, passes through the old station of Aldeanueva del Camino and reaches Hervás, in the beautiful basin that forms the headwaters of the Ambroz River, surrounded by lush trees. oak and chestnut forests at the foot of the Pinajarro massif, the westernmost summit of the Béjar mountain range. At the Hervás station there is a bar and there is the Railway Interpretation Center, highly recommended for delving into the history of the Mérida-Astorga railway. And of course you should not miss the opportunity to walk through the historic center, one of the best Jewish quarters in Extremadura.

Aldeanueva del Camino is another market town or road street, developed by the passage of large transhumant herds that twice a year traveled through the northwest of the peninsula looking for the best pastures. And at the same time serving the pilgrims and travelers who have traveled the Vía de la Plata for centuries. The facades have arcades and wooden balconies full of pots, there are medieval bridges and stone fountains. The route connects with the Camino de Santiago at the Garganta Buitrera bridge, of Roman origin, and heads towards Plasencia for the Jacobean pilgrims. The exit from the town is easy through some gardens and immediately passes through the highway tunnel and enters the Vía de la Plata or Vizana cattle track.
