Not that I know of. There's really nothing between villages so nothing to report.
It's pretty straight forward.
You can ask for notes from those who have walked it, like me.

I thought I saw something on Amazon yesterday. There one by Johnnie Walker and a second one called the Camino de Madrid Handbook. Can't vouch for either but one is a free download in the US if you are a Prime member.

I used CSJ guide when I walked; short and to the point. Johnnie Walker. It was online-downloadable when I used it.

The first post on this thread gives a few good sources of information. Then the whole thread can serve as a day-by-day guide - we "walked" the route online during lockdown, sharing questions and experiences.

The thread moderated by @C clearly (post above) is excellent.

I made good use of the also excellent thread by @timr https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/a-short-walk-from-madrid.47865/#post-513644and the guidebook by Jefferey Barrera 'The Camino de Madrid Handbook' ISBN 9781671796034

Yup. I forgot about Gronze.
That's the website I'd be checking, as it's kept pretty up to date.

I printed off the Gronze pages for each stage, which we're just great. Threw the pages away as I went.

There is one available from the Confraternity of St. James (UK). Here's the link.https://www.csj.org.uk/shop/camino-pilgrim-guides-camino-de-madrid-20192020

I used an earlier version of this guide when walking the Camino Madrid with two friends in 2016. After arriving in Sahagun, we then walked the Camino Frances to Santiago. If your're interested, here is my blog post from that Camino. http://erniefraser.blogspot.com/2018/08/walking-camino-again-septoct-2016.html

I have a Camino de Madrid Handbook by Jeffery Barrera, which I bought through the Camino Forum store.
