    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    Thank you everyone for all of this great information and @C clearly for all of your hard work and time on this. Also, there is a train station in Sahagun so it is very easy to get back to Madrid to catch a flight home or possibly to the starting point of another Camino.
