[Gocamino] Camino situation

[Rebekah Scott]

I´m not sure, but I´ll bet it´s the new AVE high-speed train line that´s being built to Burgos. You´ll find a few more "swathes" as you move west, as they connect up Palencia to Leon. 
The same massive train project has the Camino del Salvador (Leon to Oviedo) in heavy tunnel construction as well.
