Recommendation Pilgrim
You have to take into account that in this stage you will be walking approximately for a kilometer through a road with no hard shoulder so you have to be very careful. The most complicated part is in Arroyo de los Molinos, where you should cross but there is not a path or a bridge for it. If the stream has a little bit of water you will be able to cross it but if it has a lot of water you will have to turn back and go through the national road.
