Dear all,
I'm looking at the maps of the route , the section between Cercedilla and Segovia.
When walking over the mountain, you also walk on the calzada romana for a while.
I wonder how long the camino follows that road.
If you look at this map, you can see the calzada romana, the grey dots, and a yellow road for bicycles:

I'm not sure, but the yellow road looks a bit like the camino? If you compare with this map:
http://maps.peterrobins.co.uk/google/ma ... yers=B00TT
They look the same. It turns right, for an extra walk.
Here's another map of the calzada romana:

And here's an article about the roman road. http://www.traianvs.net/pdfs/2007_via_r ... enfria.pdf
Looks nice. Lots of maps too.
Ok, I'm getting to the point here soon. I want to walk the calzada romana as long as possible as it would be more fun. I assume/hope it is in real life the way it looks like on the first map: that the camino turns right, but the calzada romana goes straight forward, and if you follow the roman road you will soon be back on the camino.
Am I right? Or have I got it all wrong. Can you walk like that or how does it look like?
Hope someone knows.
Thanks and buen camino
Susanna
