Casar de Caceres is a small town just 11.5 km north of Caceres, famous throughout Spain for its Torta del Casar, a creamy sheep's milk cheese with a distinctive soft, almost liquid centre. The cheese has a DOP (Denomination of Origin) designation.
Pilgrims will find an albergue, restaurants, cafes, and basic services. The short stage from Caceres makes for a relaxed morning.
Trying the Torta del Casar is essential. The cheese is traditionally eaten by cutting off the top and scooping out the creamy interior with bread.
