I wish I had seen this thread before I started this week. This stage was unbearable today. The long uphill slog on rough roman roads should have tipped me off but the final 8 kilometers on a dusty trail always seeing Segovia but painfully and slowly making progress was torture.
Mainly stuff I got off this forum. There are links to download the La Plata / Sanabres guide and one of the users walked the Madrid and reported on darn near every town. I have also used Google Maps / Street view to look at most of the towns I will be going through.
