Zamarramala
Camino de Madrid
Just 2-3 km beyond Segovia on the Camino, Zamarramala is where many pilgrims spend the night after a day exploring the city. There's a large, well-equipped albergue municipal here. The approach from Segovia follows the river and it's a pleasant stroll.
The village itself is small and quiet. Don't expect much in the way of evening entertainment — this is a sleeping stop, not a destination.
Zamarramala is known for the Fiesta de las Aguedas (February 5), when women symbolically take over the village governance for a day — a tradition dating back centuries.
From Zamarramala, you head into genuinely new territory. The landscape shifts dramatically — you've left the mountains behind and you're entering the open Castilian plain. The next stretch to Santa Maria la Real de Nieva is one of the longest and most service-poor on the route. Plan ahead and carry plenty of water. There are drinking fountains in some of the old villages along the way, but open bars are unreliable.
