Torremejia, a town with no arrows!

Hi, I'm currently in Caceres, but only have 30 minutes computer time so will just do this one short! post. I will post my albergue experiences when I get home.

The path into Torremejia appears to have been extended by the need to walk along a railway track for a while, what seemed a long while. there was a bridge under the railway but when I looked inder it seemed very overgrown on the other side, so I followed a cyclist who had just passed me, and walked up to a bridge over the track. There was a sign just before the bridge which seemed to indicate following a path and then scrambling up an embankment, my scrambling days are long gone, so I followed the track round to the bridge, which was also signed. This was the last sign! I noticed that the people who had been behind me dissappeared so they must have felt that the path under the railway was passable. Once in Torremejia I turned left and walked around until I came to the main road and then asked for directions to the albergue.
The hospitalero said that there used to be signs but that there haven't been for a while.
Coming out of Torremejia, there was a sign just out of town which seemed to require one to walk down a bank, so I carried on on the road until it got a bit flatter. The path runs parallel to the road until the cross roasds, a guy working in a field told me the path stopped so I returned to the road, the arrows on the road were ambiguous, I felt I was making it up as I went along. The first proper signs came after about 3 kms and then it was OK.

hi
I had a similiar doubt just a week ago,however i scrambled up that bank and was followed by three bikers, the path led directly into town. By the way the Tourist Albergue is at the bottom of town near the church.
Leaving Los Santos De Maimosa I failed to pick up arrows and was directed by locals . Thanks
Buen Camino

Hi tipperary,
Yes, but I'm afraid my days of scrambling up banks are long past. The only thing worse than scrambling up a bank is scrambling down one!
