[QUOTE="NualaOC, post: 693116, member: 15246"] New Year, new Camino planning! I'm researching the Camino de Madrid at the moment and making tentative plans for a 2019 walk. Sincere thanks to everyone who's posted such helpful information and tips about this route - I've really enjoyed reading your comments and making copious notes. I'll hopefully have about 15 or 16 walking days. All going well, I plan to walk the Madrid in 11 or 12 days, which should give me some extra time at the end. I've thought about taking a train to León to walk some or all of the Salvador, but the simplicity of continuing on the Francés is also quite appealing. However, I'm not sure I'd like to start that in Sahagún, hence this question ....... [U]So far, I've found two possible alternatives to joining the CF in Sahagún:[/U] [B]1. [/B]After Villalón de Campos, follow the road to Villada and stay in what looks like a very nice albergue. Walk from Villada to Moratinos the next day (thanks [USER=23079]@Sheffield James[/USER], [USER=271]@Rebekah Scott[/USER] and others for your info on this in other threads). [B]2. [/B]Follow in the footsteps of[URL='https://www.rayyrosa.com/nuestros-caminos/camino-de-madrid-2017/villalon-de-campos-melgar-de-arriba'] RayyRosa[/URL] (usually a good idea!) and detour 'left' to Melgar de Arriba after Villalón de Campos or Santervás de Campos, joining the CF at Bercianos del Real Camino (about 18kms from Melgar de Arriba). Gronze shows a diversion from Santervás to Melgar de Arriba and I've found quite a few wikiloc tracks from Spanish pilgrims. This, and the the fact that there's a basic albergue in M de A, suggests that it could be a viable plan. However, the CSJ guide states that the albergue might now be closed. [B]My question is[/B]: has anyone walked option 2? Is it a good idea, or are there reasons to avoid it? Obviously it will depend on how my stages on the Madrid work out, but I'm curious to know the pros and cons at this point. Also: is there another alternative route that joins the CF after Sahagún? Thanks in anticipation! Nuala [/QUOTE]
