    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    Things that interested me in Valladolid: Cervantes' House, the palace where Philip II was born, the Columbus museum (a modern interactive place - only in Spanish?), searching for the location of Columbus' last abode - from memory there's a marker in Plaza Mayor outside one of the fast food...

    Camino de Madrid

    Rodaja, in El Licenciado Vidrieda, initially refuses to become a 'loro' (join the army) preferring to continue his studies but after he has recovered from his madness (believing he is made of glass) he does so - and dies in Flanders. I'm assuming Cervantes, who of course had been a soldier, is...

    Camino de Madrid

    Have worked my way through the Gronze itinerary. Google (?) translation very useful - and sometimes rather amusing. Some 'schoolboy howlers' that made me chuckle. Place names: Three Songs (Tres Cantos), Snow (Nieva) and Crankshaft (Cigunuela). I also liked: queen stage (etapa reina) for the...

    What a wonderful little anecdote and beautifully told. I'd like to have added a laughing emoji to your tale but have no idea how to do it. You'll have to settle for a 'like'.

    Great read, Larry, and some fine photos. I've noted the absence of pit-stops along some of the stretches. I like to travel light so not overly keen on carrying water and food (I stop at all the fuentes and a lot of bars!). Also interesting to read about the temperature variations. 'The...

    Camino de Madrid

    I've stayed in Segovia before, even if it was 30 plus years ago, so that is probably where I'm going to have to save a day. Tordesillas is one of my many favourite places in Spain and I'd like to walk along the Duero for a bit. That side trip is non-negotiable for me. Noted. Also noted. Thanks

    Camino de Madrid

    I've had a quick look at Gronze and it appears to be just what I'm after - elementary and clear and I can understand the Spanish, more or less.

    Camino de Madrid

    Hello David - I know you did, you are one of my sources ;-) Been looking at their guide. Description of the route runs out at Puente Duero but good information up to that point. I will, hopefully overnight at Ray y Rosa, so should be able to get some gaps filled. Too bad about the albergue in...
