Gravel through Tierra de Campos and the Canal de Castilla from Medina de Rioseco

A flat loop through the Tierra de Campos of Valladolid. It starts in Medina de Rioseco, where the Ramal de Campos of the Canal de Castilla begins, and heads west on farm tracks to Villabrágima and Villafrechós. It then climbs towards Cuenca de Campos between cereal fields and returns south via Tamariz de Campos. To get back to Medina it uses the canal towpath: a wide track of compacted dirt with no elevation. Almost the whole route is farm track of dirt and gravel. When it rains, some sections get muddy. There is water and there are bars in the villages. There is no shade between them, so in summer it's best to set off early. Spring and autumn are the best seasons. A northerly or westerly wind can make the exposed sections hard. Medina de Rioseco has parking and facilities for starting and finishing.
