We will start our pilgrim walk from Sahagun and I wonder what route we should to choose from Calzada del Coto. Via Bercianos del Camino or via Calzadilla de los Hermanillos.

What is the best way and is it well marked.

Both are well marked, I personally prefer the Bercianos route, but that is really subjective as I like and know the villages on that route well. Buen Camino, SY

I have twice walked via Hermanillos and love the beautiful countryside walk as opposed to the senda. Have stayed at the excellent private albergue on the right as you enter town. Clean ,comfortable rooms and great communal meals. Few but friendly pilgrims.

The route via Hermanillos is a rural splendour and offers the opportunity to walk the Calzada Romana, supposedly the most perfect extant Roman road in modern Spain. The original pavement is visible at times.

Do, however, take the diversion near the radio-mast to Reliegos. The 'Elvis" bar, Bar La Torre, should not be by-passed.

I walked to Calzadilla de los Hermanillos on my first camino, and would do so again. As @Tincatinker suggests, going through Reliegos to visit the bar there is almost a must do, but you can do that on either of the alternatives.

Thank you everyone - I think we will walk via Calzadilla de los Hermanillos this time and also visit the Elvis bar. Looking forward to continue our walk in september.
