Puente Duero
Camino de Madrid
Puente Duero sits where the Camino crosses the Rio Duero, Spain's great river. It's a neat, tidy town with services and an albergue.
From Puente Duero, it's easy to catch a bus into Valladolid (about 13 km) for an afternoon or evening visit. The Camino de Madrid doesn't pass through Valladolid itself, so this is your best opportunity to see the city if you're interested. Buses run regularly.
Buy food for cooking here if you're planning to stop in Peñaflor de Hornija (about 28 km ahead). Peñaflor has an albergue with a good kitchen but no shop — stock up now.
From Puente Duero, you cross the historic bridge and follow the road toward Simancas. The walking is flat, with a cycle track alongside the road for part of the way. The irrigated river flats of the Duero valley are home to market gardens — a lush change from the dry fields behind you.
