Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Plasencia
Plasencia sits in a bend of the river Jerte, at the northern edge of Extremadura, where the dry plains give way to the first shoulders of the Sierra de Gredos. It is a stone town, honey-coloured and quietly confident, with a medieval wall, a double cathedral and an aqueduct that strides across the southern streets. The name is said to come from the founder's wish that the place be pleasing to God and to men, and the old kings of Castile did their best to make it so.
