SP18 - Recorrido por Extremadura - Tyre/TomTom Plan D

Michelin 576

A few days sitting at home looking at the Michelin Map 576 and getting a "larger picture" of the trip means yet another update to the routing.

All the hotels for the first night have been either too far to the north and way off the path between Madrid and the first Extremadura stop at Trujillo. 

So yet another review using the map to see where places are has been helpful. I have changed the first night stop again.

That's what is quite good about booking.com! The chance to plan and chop and change as need be.

The biggest change is that I have decided that when we arrive in Madrid and get the car, it will be about 3.30pm so instead of an overnight on the way we'll go straight to Trujillo. I logged into the Parador website and "modify booking" didn't work. Luckily, they had a chat option and a nice lady called Viktoria changed the booking to make it a day earlier.


That of course freed up another day in the week. A bit of shuffling around and I I have a new plan - Plan D!!!!! I have been able to move the Merida and Badajoz overnights to a day earlier and then fitted in Cacares to make a loop of the "frying pan".

So then I had a review.

Day 1 - flight out to Madrid and Trujillo Parador to stay 2 nights.
Day 3 - Merida and stay 2 nights.
Day 5 - Badajoz - one night
Day 6 - Caceres - one night
Day 7 - Plasencia - one night
Day 8 - back to Madrid and flight home.

Plan D!

Plan D - highway no toll roads.
