[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 719425, member: 537"] Wow, two weeks. Should be a great time to walk. Here are my comments. 1. I think the main reasons people go to La Granja are either to have a shorter day (25 km rather than 30) or to be able to visit La Granja. I love La Granja, the grounds are very pretty, the “Little Versailles” seems apt, so if you like Bourbon palaces it’s a good stop. The other thing is that it would also be a very short day into Segovia the next day so you would essentially have a rest day in Segovia, which is a great place to have a rest day! Or do what some forum members have done, visit the town for several hours and then walk on to Zamarramala. I personally would not give up the chance to see the aqueduct lit up at night, it is a stunning sight. 2. Penaflor has a new albergue as of 2014, in the house where the priest used to live. I walked years before then. 3. Medina de Rioseco has reopened. [URL]https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/medina-de-rioseco-reopening-of-convent.56697/[/URL] 4. I remember the stage from Segovia to Santa Maria as having nothing open. It was a Sunday, though, and there were closed bars, so you may not be so unlucky. We were hot and thirsty and finally in some little town saw a bunch of people sitting outside. We asked if we could have some water, and they were most obliging. Turns out they were two Madrid families who had rented the house for the weekend and were very interested to learn all about the Camino de Madrid. I had a hard time pulling my two walking companions away after they downed their third or fourth beer. But we did make it to Santa Maria. 5. I believe it is actually in the jail in the palace. ;) It wasn’t open when I walked through, but I think Kinky and a few others have stayed there and really thought it was nice. 6. I took a detour to Valladolid and spent a night there. It has a home Cervantes lived in, though not his birthplace. And the museum of sculpture is great. The plateresque facade of the building it is housed in is over the top, and there was some really nice old religious carving and sculpture. Valladolid also has a very nice Plaza Mayor — and I ate in a great vegetarian restaurant there! I slept in the Valladolid Association albergue in Puente Duero (a great place) and walked to Simancas and then got a bus into town. I hopped a bus back to Simancas the next day to continue on the camino. Coca’s castle is pretty awesome, too! Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
