Sadly the mosquitoes! When I walked in late April this year no one. Villalon is a pretty town with a good albergue, good memories. Tomorrow to Grajal de Campos? A special albergue located inside a monumental building. Also a very good restaurant close nearby with a lovely garden. Had a lovely...
Great report! Tomorrow a beautiful walk along the canal to Tamariz. Suggest strongly to take an alternative way to Cuenca de Campos to avoid road walking. See picture.
Yea, there is wifi around almost the whole village. Y’l see wifi routers at the outside of some buidings with a wifi signal posted at it. The wifi password, if I remember correctly, you will find inside the albergue next to the door outside.
Thanks for the tip. I’m a member of Gronze now. Today in Tres Cantos, tomorrow to Manzanares el Real. Unfortunatley RayyRosa are not at home this weekend. The hostel La Pedriza was also fully booked this weekend by a large group juniors (contacted the hostel directly by email). Fortunately...
In Santa Maria la Real de Nieva you can also book a room at casa rural Rincón Naif, instead of hostal Avanto. Website: https://www.rinconnaif.com/#contact. Not listed at Gronze

Have send just a mail to the government of Peñaflor de Hornija...
Thanks! This was not quite clear to me. And yes, the church is a visit worth. Starting Camino the Madrid mid April this year, followed by Camino del Selvador, Leon - Oviedo. Also a certificate for this camino is nice to have: the Salvadorana. Credencial for this specific certificate can be...
I know you can get a Camino de Madrid credencial at the Santiago church In Madrid.
Do I understand you are able to get in Sahagun a “Camino de Madrid” certificate?
Or is is this certificate a kind of CF mid-way certificate as quoted by @KinkyOne? If true what is the difference of the Camino...
