Non-walking day on Camino de Madrid?

[KinkyOne]

Hola!

What village/town would you recommend to make a stop for non-walking day? I was thinking to end my stages at: Tres Cantos, Manzanares..., Cercedilla, Segovia, Ane, Coca, Alcazaren, Puente Duero, Penaflor..., Medina de..., Villalon de..., Santervas.... It could be anywhere on the route, even near Sahagun because I don't plan to stop there (I've seen it already :wink: )

Thank you for your help!

Ultreia!

Hola,
I'm at Camino de Madrid right now and I stayed an extra day in Segovia.
A wonderful town, lots to see, if you are interested in architecture.
I would not recommend recommend anyone to stop in Ane, the albergue is in a terrible state (I went in, very dirty).
I'm right now in Simancas. Having walked Alcazaren-Simancas today. The sandy roads are difficult to walk on. Blisters and little wounds everywhere.
Buen camino
/S

Segovia and Villalon de Campos are two nice places.

Valladolid as I'm doing right now.

To echo Susanna, the stretch between Valdesillas and Pue.te Duero 8km is a killer on the feet. Stay on the road.
Cheers.

Another option is to take your rest day in Valladolid. The camino passes very close, and it is certainly worth a visit. You take a short bus from Puente Duero, and either return on the same day, or sleep in Valladolid for a night!

Thanks for putting on the idea about Valladolid. That could be really nice. But somehow I like to stay on the trail for the whole time and maybe after finishing Camino go to bigger cities more like an ordinary tourist
