My guide book and map show that after crossing the N403, about 6k after Almorox, the path goes into woods and turns north and continues straight to M507, about 1-2k later. What they don't mention is that there is a cross-roads (or cross-paths) where I could find absolutely no signs so I continued straight, with hindsight I should have turned left at the crossing. Like an idiot I kept going and in the end I finished back on the N403 2 hours later, I admit to being an idiot I'm sure that at some point I should have turned back but there was a housing development and I assumed that it post dated the map.
Later, when I managed to get back on the camino after the M507 the path came out onto a very minor road here there was an official sign pointing right so I went that way but I came upon loads of arrows pointing left, I was confused but eventually I opted to turn back and follow the arrows. At this point it was pouring with rain so I didn't get my book out. The result was that I ended up on the N403 yet again and walked the last 6k up the side of a busy road. The official sign is obviously right, I'm not sure at what point I would have found the next sign.
Good luck. Buen camino
