Hello everyone especially Javier, once again thanks so much for coming to Cercidilla and for all the info. And not the least to Rebecca who picked us up in Sahagun and gave us with her husband Patrick a wonderful evening at Moratinos. Everyone this is a wonderful Camino. The blue book from CSJ (Maurice and Marigold Fox) and the updates from Peter Tucker which they include are more than sufficient. Maurice wrote in the year 2000 and there were no refugios then. Now there are refugios all the way from Segovia. Use the update with the blue book. Peter will be glad to know about the ref. at Melgar de Arriba. Now you don't have the long 40 km to Sahagun any more.
The refs are with one exception (Alcazeren) well equipped with beautiful kitchens. Cigunuela has no kitchen but there are four good restaurants in the town! Two of the refs at Puente Duero and Santa maria de Nueva are among the best refs. we have ever stayed in. We walked with one Spanish pilgrim and there are about three hundred a year walking. So you will have peace and quiet in fantastic natural surroundings. Segovia and Medina de Rioseco are beautiful cities and very peaceful. Then there are the old castillos everywhere. It is very solitary so don't rely on meeting other people. One more thing - the waymarking is good to very good all the way to Sahagun and seems to have been "updated" recently. Thanks to the Amigos. We are now at home at can answer any questions you may have.
Buen Camino
