Hi Camino Madrid peregrinos
I decided after yesterday’s walk that I won’t do the last etape from Santervás de campos to Sahagún as legs want a break before I start the Invierno. So I won’t be able to report on the exit from Arenillas de Valderaduey. We were all to go separate directions in Sahagún regardless. So Jill has set off today on foot and no doubt when she get back home will get back on the forum. Now there
@jsalt is an organized peregrina. I so much enjoyed the company of the few forum members on camino Madrid.
I caught a drive to Sahagún this morning and have my ticket to Ponferrada for 2pm. E17.
Should be there at 4.15pm.
I’ll have to crank myself up again there to set off.
This last 2 weeks has gone so fast.
@KinkyOne sorry about the double up photos- The post just wasn’t posting. Not sure how to get rid of the double ups once uploaded.
The albergue in Santervás was good. We had it all to ourselves. The heating and hot water didn’t come on at first so I had a cold shower at 6.20pm and then mentioned being ‘frio’ to Emilio (the Hospitalero). He set to contacting whoever the experts were and the other girls enjoyed a lovely hot shower. Bathroom has heating - warm as toast once it’s working. Heating throughout.
Actually on this camino ., I didn’t experience one cold albergue. They leave heating on all night. You end up warmas toast. Blankets here too.
The bar served a lovely menu del dia -
Buen Camino to those following.

Edit: The drive was sort of taxi and quoted E25 to Sahagún. 2 of us shared the taxi.
The lady (Elena ) actually lives in Ponferrada but is back during vacation in Santervás and was at the bar last night.
