[QUOTE="Nastucha, post: 557576, member: 67405"] Day 4&5. Cercedilla-La Granja de San Ildefonso (26.8km)-Segovila(12.8km) I have been told that this might be the toughest stage of CdM, because of elevation and distance, so I decided to split it and spend more time in Segovia. It was a perfect day for walking from Cercedilla, Plenty of shade to shelter oneself from the sun, clear skies and beautiful views all around. Upon exiting La Granja, I started following the green dots and metal sights "Via XXIV" for "la Calzada Romana" up to the highest point of the mountain (Puerto de la Fuenfría) as advised in the tourist information travel booth. I really-really enjoyed the walk. My thoughts were calm up until one encounter. I met two middle aged male walkers and after telling them that I was walking alone they recommended that I should be carrying a pepper spray with me for self defence...I mean, this was really thoughtful of them, but it made me worry. Maybe I am being careless and not taking enough precaution?! Everything I read about the Camino so far has made it sound as if it was quite safe, but maybe you can never be too careful ...If anyone has any thoughts in this I would appreciate your feedback. On the brighter note, I have finally met some fellow pilgrims (a group of 5, WoW). They have arrived in Hostal Camino de Lis shortly after me. They shared a nice meal of pasta with me and I was glad for the possibility of having someone else to walk with in the coming stages.[ATTACH]36481[/ATTACH] On the way to Segovila I have diviated from the group and went by the route mapped on rayyrosa website. According to my new friends the direct way took 10kms, while I walked a bit more but it was very picturesque across the dam and next to a little river. The day in Segovia was really nice, but hardly a break, as I was running around visiting museums and looking at the sights...[ATTACH]36482[/ATTACH] Tomorrow the plan is for all 6 of us to walk to Añe and stay in an albergue there. The only thing is that being so excited about Segovia's attractions, I have missed the supermarket closing time, so I have snacks, but no real food for tomorrow...should hopefully work something out on the way☺️ [/QUOTE]
