    Great Bustards on CdM

    Yes. I was told by folks at the Sahagún tourism office they can be found between Sahagún and Bericanos del Real Camino with a high likelihood of active leks. The distance between the two towns is 10km. So, tomorrow I’ll have a short day of walking but a long day of birding🤗

    Albergue Palacio Grajal de Campos

    The docent said it was the palace’s food storage. Also the docent, who speaks very good English, is at the albergue until 1900 Wednesday - Sunday and assistance can otherwise be reached via telephone.

    Albergue Palacio Grajal de Campos

    I expected to finish my Camino de Madrid today but ~5km from Sahagún I spied a castle and made a side trip to Grajal de Campos and discovered that the town has a lovely albergue in a 16th Century palace. Sahagún can wait a day. This was my first Camino and a great and enjoyable experience.

    Something similar happened to me on April 8th. I had confirmed, via WhatsApp, with the bar owner in Añe that the albergue was open and I could pick-up the keys from him at the bar; however, upon arrival the bar was closed and was told by (via WhatsApp and telephone) the bar owner he wasn’t...

    Marking of the Camino Madrid

    I started on the CdM on April 3rd and other than using Komoot to leave Madrid I found that after reaching the tennis center on the outskirts of the city I have found the route so well marked that I haven’t used I found the markings leaving Madrid poor and I used Komoot in the city but once you...

    Starting the Camino Madrid

    Agreed the markings for leaving Madrid are poor and I used Komoot in the city but once you get to the tennis center the trail is well marked and I have had no need for my mapping app since.

    Starting the Camino Madrid

    Leaving the cityscape of Madrid into the countryside leading into Tres Cantos was a favorite day. I am currently in Segovia siteseeing.

    Starting the Camino Madrid

    I started on April 3rd and it’s great. Starting in early April seems perfect as vegetation is green, plenty of water in the creeks, wildflowers blooming, nesting birds singing up a storm…lovin’ every minute thus far.
