La Plata Route

Crossroads

The city of Benavente is one of the towns associated with the Cooperation Network of Cities on the Silver Route.

The Vía de La Plata is the name given to the ancient Roman road that linked Mérida with Astorga.

Its birth was due to the need to facilitate the movement of goods and troops between the north and south of the peninsula until medieval times.

We propose that you take a tour along this road as it passes through our city and its districts.

It will be an experience that will put them in contact with history while allowing them to enjoy the variety of the landscape, as well as to know the artistic monuments of the towns it crosses.
