Not true. After the fork if you veer to the right and over the highway there are two villages: Calzada del Coto just after the fork and Calzadilla de los Hermanillos. Both with shop, bars, restaurants and albergue in each of them....
No water, ploughed fields, no villages until Reliegos. I wouldnt do it again. ever. We were just lucky to meet a Camino Angel on a bicycle who gave us water and directions.
The right hand option is on former Roman road, rebuild and resurfaced over the centuries like most of the highways are. But in attached photo (just before turn off for Reliegos) you can see fenced area where under the certain amount of soil is original Roman road called Via Aquitana:... Did not see any Roman remains but we nearly left behind two Irish mens exhausted bodies for future archaeologists to ponder over.
Yes we had breakfast at Calzadilla de los Hermanillos. Saw the sign and wondered how we'd got there. (it was an accident, we weren't paying enough attention and followed some other pilgrims). The walk up to that part was pleasant, it was the roman road afterwards that did me in. Ran out of water, got sunburnt, thought it would never end.Not true.

I like the Calzadilla route, though I confess it can sometimes seem longer than it is.In the wise pilgrim guide I have it shows a fork in the path just after Sahagun. The green route goes right to Cazadilla, the left is the official route to Bercianos. Both trails converge later towards Mansilla. The green route is supposed to be more scenic. Can anyone who has passed this way give any guidance as to which is more preferred?
Then head for one of the southern Caminos (Serrana, Augusta, Plata, Levante, Sanabres, Lana etc.)I'd love to be on one of those boring roads this morning as I head to work, wondering if I'll ever be able to come back! Buen Camino!

Yes we took this by accident. If you think the walk out of Carrion de Condes is tediuos on that roman road, this one was way worse.

That trek has no food water and few people but then there are pictures like this to be had.In the wise pilgrim guide I have it shows a fork in the path just after Sahagun.

Again - not true at all!That trek has no food water and few people but then there are pictures like this to be had.
