Ruta De La Plata "Silver Trail"
Silver
road (Ruta De La Plata) is an 800 kilometre trek on the western side of
Spain, parallel to Portugal, starting at Gijón. The road winds down
some of the most picturesque places in Spain and stops at the
magnificent city of Seville. It is being heavily promoted as Spain's
version of North America's 'Route 66'.
There are 24 Municipalities along the trail, all unique in their own way and screaming out to be visited. From snow peaked mountains, sun drench fields of gold, quaint little villages nestled around a church tower, chiming every hour, to thriving towns with lusty nightlife - vida nocturna, drenched in culture and mystery.
Car enthusiast, bikers, cyclists, hikers and back packers along with caravans and campers are flocking to this magnificent and diverse trail. The Ruta De La Plata is supported by a cooperation of large Spanish companies, like Repsol, promoting destinations and products with strong enthuses on areas of spectacular beauty and gastronomy excellence.
The cooperation of towns are promoting the area to attract more tourist, from Germany, France, the UK and other countries, through social media, tour operators and local travel agents; at the moment figures suggest over 175,000 travelled the route in 2012, made up of mostly Portuguese and Spanish, sampling the delights that the Ruta de la Plata has to offer.

The origins of Ruta De La Plata take us back to seventh century BC, a
corridor naturally formed by nature over time, snaked through the
western Iberian Peninsula. This became an ideal trade route serving the
northern Plateau and moving south down the pass to service cities along
the route finishing at the beautiful city of Sevilla.
