Wise Pilgrim APPAt La Virgen del Camino, the route splits into two options.
The Road Route (left) follows the N-120 through Valverde de la Virgen, San Miguel del Camino, and Villadangos del Páramo. It's direct and well-serviced but the road walking is unpleasant — heavy traffic, asphalt, and industrial zones.
The Scenic Route (right) takes a more rural path through Fresno del Camino, Oncina, Chozas de Abajo, and Villar de Mazarife before rejoining near Hospital de Órbigo. It's longer by about 5 km but quieter, with better walking on farm tracks and through small villages.
The scenic route is the better option unless you're in a rush or the weather is terrible. The road route has more services but the walking is grim.
