Hola amigos!

I am hoping I might be able to go to the camino for 8 or 9 days next week, I have read there may be alterations on the route because of highway works.

Has anyone been around this area lately? Is signposting reliable enough? Any other late news?

muchas gracias!

Hola, Amancio!

Could only contribute on Zamora - Granja de Moreruela stretch as I've walked it this summer (continued on Sanabres). Nothing really special or unusuall as I could saw regarding markings, route etc.

Ultreia!

I passed through Benavente on the Sureste late last year and the area was a complete mess because of roadworks on the northern extension of the ruta de la Plata motorway. Detours etc must have added an hour to my day, although the signposting was mostly pretty good. It might not be quite so bad to the south, but it looked it.

thanks a lot, amigos! in theory, roadworks for this motorway should be finished by now, I do not know what I will find if I eventually can make it, I will keep you posted. This stretch does not seem to be so popular, I will see what I find...

Hi Amancio,
I walked Zamora-Astorga in late May this year, and while there were some minor diversions, all were well signed, navigation was no problem.
Regards.
George
PS. See my post titled "I may be wrong but?"
