I used this guide back in 2020 (and this year for the last 10 miles in to Seville).
It was excellent and made the route much easier to follow.
It’s only online so I just left the page open on my phone.

Its been great meeting up with you along the way. Definitively a good part of our Camino.
Wishing you all the best to arrive safely in Santiago.
If you see Pere along the way could you try and thank him for being an important part of our journey too please.
This isn’t the report that I wanted to be writing at any point during our attempt to walk/cycle to Santiago.
Don’t worry, nothing really bad has happened.
Sarah cycled todays route in to Salamanca as planned, actually she walked a fair bit of it with Marion, while I on the other hand found...
I left Fuenterroble at 7.30, the day was looking nice and the walk was a walk of three parts to my mind.
The firts was along a wide avenue through grazing land. It was quite wet in places and the stepping stones at various points were definitely a bonus.
The second section was the one that...
We had breakfast at 8 o’clock this morning in the bar below our room as per dinner yesterday.
On leaving I felt that it was one of the best places that we’d stayed so far. The owners work so hard and they were so accommodating and keen to please that it just felt a bit special. Speaking to the...
Breakfast this morning was provided in the way of bread (toaster provided) butter and jam, a fruit juice and a couple of glasses of water.
I was going to leave at 7.30 but forgot to set the alarm clock so it was an 8am start which was absolutely fine. The first town of Baños de Montemayor was...
I wasn’t particularly looking forward to setting off this morning, what with the road walk in to town yesterday and the warnings of streams that could be difficult to cross, or indeed impassable, after the heavy rains of a couple of night ago.
However, the track back to The Camino was actually...
After a good nights sleep in the Albergue our breakfast was in individual boxes in the fridge. Just a few things to get you going.
And the going today was alright. I say that because the first 11km to Carcaboso went by quickly and I met Sarah in a cafe for a cup of tea and a bite to eat.
The...
It turned out that breakfast wasn’t included at the Albergue in Cañaveral but luckily we had some granola and milk.
I was away at 7.30 which worked in perfectly with the rain as it had just stopped.
The path out of town, remember that this is an alternative to the main path, wasn’t well marked...
So on to today. A couple of cliches to start with.
What a day out that was!
It was a day of two halves.
An extra early start of 06.45 so it was torch time again once I was out of town. With Maps.me and the yellow arrows it was easy to find the way and navigation wasn’t an issue anyway as it was...
